Can a employer tell to spanish speaking people that they cannot speak spanish in the work place? |
Or that they cannot speak spanish each other? Isn't this breaking some kind of law....EEOC??? Where I work the supervisors have told the drivers that they may not speak in Spanish on the CB radios, I do not know if they can legally tell them not to or not. Yea that's racism. http://www.nclr.org/files/33507_file_emp... the work place belongs to the employer and the employer has the right to issue a written set of rules about what conduct is expected there. however, during breaks and lunch employees have the right to conduct themselves in appropriate fashion that suits them as well. experience as a boss I think any employer can say "No talking to each other while they're supposed to be doing their job." But if they are telling ONLY the spanish speaking people, they cannot talk to each other and everyone else is allowed to talk as freely as they want, then Yeah, I think that's discrimination. Because it happens to be that they speak spanish because of their nationality. If two black persons were told not to speak to each other b/c they're black, that'd be one good lawsuit. What's he afraid they'll say to each other? well its not a law as it is a rule |
