Wisconsin Plastics from Green Bay, Wis. is being sued by the Obama admin for firing workers who couldn’t speak English, stating “those skills were not needed to perform their jobs.”
The Obama admin also states that forcing people to speak English in the United States violates their civil rights, according to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Here’s the twisted explanation from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the federal agency that enforces the nation’s workplace discrimination laws; the Civil Rights Act protects employees from discrimination based on national origin, which includes the linguistic characteristics of a national origin group. Therefore, according to this reasoning, foreigners have the right to speak their native language even during work hours at an American company that requires English.
Requirements of English fluency and so-called English only rules are often implemented to make what is really discrimination appear acceptable, says the government attorney handling this case. “But superficial appearances are not fooling anyone,” he assures. “When speaking English fluently is not, in fact, required for the safe and effective performance of a job, nor for the successful operation of the employer’s business, requiring employees to be fluent in English usually constitutes employment discrimination on the basis of national origin — and thus violates federal law.”
Under President Obama the EEOC has taken a number of unprecedented actions to protect foreigners in the workplace, including illegal immigrants. In 2009 the agency issued a controversial order making a workplace English rule illegal. The directive came after the EEOC bullied a national healthcare firm to pay nearly half a million dollars to settle a discrimination lawsuit in which the government alleged that Hispanic workers were punished for speaking Spanish.

And what about those who speak English but don’t get the job because we can’t speak Spanish, why doesn’t he stick up for us?
ENGLISH IS OUR LANGUAGE SO LEARN IT IF YOU WANT TO LIVE HERE & LIVE OFF OUR MONEY!!! strange they don’t speak english but when it does come to money they understand perfectly… many understand english & then here comes don’t speak english…funny how they know where to go to get off the freebies off us…
I see nothing wrong with that especially for SAFETY reasons! I would also demand each worker present proof of citizenship!
So…..why were they even hired in the first place?
What does Obama know about rights? He tramples on our rights everyday.
its funny how obama and his people don’t care about the constitution or peoples rights till some one does somthing to a person that doesn’t even belong in this country, hope if this goes to trial that the plastic company wins just like hobby lobby did.
What we have is an anti-American president.
And a Government of terroristic following!
