English only

profilemarons2

The job ad that Discrimina created to encourage legal immigrants to apply for jobs was successful. Three new machine operators are immigrants from Mexico , all who speak some English as a second language to their Spanish. They all have Vo-Tech training and are considered excellent employees. They are Luis, Carlo, and Benito.

Luis, one of the new employees, is married to Juana, an immigrant from Guatemala , who is very good with numbers. She was hired part-time to assist Eunice with inventory control and clerical tasks. After she started, Juana complained that the other two Mexican men were calling her names.  Eunice is normally the only supervisor around when the name calling takes place, and she does not speak Spanish. Juana has asked for an English only policy and Eunice thinks it might be illegal to do that.

Questions

  1. How should Eunice solve this problem? 
  2. How might the case of Garcia v. Spun Steak Company provide guidelines to resolve some of the issues?
