You Wont Believe Why A Group Of Spanish Speaking Immigrants Is Suing Their Employer According to recent reports, six Spanish-speaking employees of Fairview Development Center have just filed a lawsuit against the facility because it has an English-only policy. Apparently, being asked to speak English in America is discrimination. The lawsuit was filed in mid-June and claims that the facility has a no-Spanish speaking rule that is enforced throughout work hours, including on breaks and during lunch. English is considered to be the official language of the state of California and should be spoken while doing the work of the state unless otherwise indicated by the needs of clients or their families, the policy reads. The California Department of Fair Employment Act states that employers cant restrict the use of any language at the workplace unless it will interfere with business. Given that the plaintiffs dont have interaction with the customers, their attorney is arguing that the policy is unnecessary. Further, the employees claim to feel systematically bullied and intimidated, claiming that they are treated like second class employees. What do you think of the lawsuit? Is it ridiculous to be sued for requiring employees to speak English?
