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.

If they cant speak english how can they be given instruction ?
It’s all bull…. Every citizen should be able to speak english and no our money.
How the heck are we to run a business when we have so many language speaking people, is Obama nuts, does he demand that all businesses close down and commerce come to a stop ! What country in the world hires English speaking people other than to sell things to Americans ! This guy and his flunked have to go !
How bout a counter sue for no skills in the White House.
Obama is a idiot
EVERYONE SHOULD SPEAK ENGLISH-WHO KNOWS IF THEY MOCK US, OR OUR FLAG………
Obama the narcissist. He congratulates himself-well when the whole country knows what a failure he is-guess his only cheering section is himself. Maybe he should check out his approval rating new low of 38%.
This is what he says – “Part of this job is the theater of it,” Obama said. “It’s not something that always comes naturally to me, but it matters.”Obama also congratulated himself on his national security performance. “I have no higher priority than keeping the American people safe,” Obama said. “I think I’ve done a very good job during these last close to six years doing so.”
Everyone has to be aware of what Obama is doing on immigration. Now he will not do his exec order until after the election. This should make ALL worry because it must be so over reaching that he knows that even Democrats will not like it. This country can not take in all of those that are here illegally & survive. We already know that many of them are criminals but it doesn’t seem to matter to Obama.
Treasury Sec now says they are looking at how to PUNISH those companies that move address out of country to save on taxes. We already have heard how Obama admin are attacking companies that they don’t like by hitting them with regulations. When will Obama stop killing companies so that JOBS can be created?
Aug job #’s are out & they are good. But due to the way Obama cooks the books on employment %-it went down. WHY? Because more people stopped looking for work. And there are more people working part-time wanting full time. Real rate is 12.4% if anyone really cares.
Income for poor & middle-class has continued to go DOWN while Obama continues to tell everyone how great things are
*Now we know that Obama received a briefing on ISIS over a year ago & did NOTHING
**Now we are finding out that DHS has lost trace on 6,000 people here on student visa who have over stayed
***How much more can we take?
*IRS says 5 more peoples e-mails are missing. At this point we have to ask-Is there anyone at IRS that hasn’t had a crash on there computer. We aren’t buying this.
**Lerner e-mail shows Lois Lerner Ignored Political Expenditures By Unions-She is still being paid after all we know. WHY?
**IRS Lerner’s Blackberry was intentionally destroyed after Congress had begun its probe into IRS targeting of conservative groups, a senior IRS lawyer acknowledged in a sworn declaration. Sadly, this has become standard operating procedure for the Obama administration. Delay. Derail. Deceive.”
Putin reminds everyone that he has Nukes. Now has 4,000 Russian soldiers in Ukraine & what does Obama say-NOTHING
**anyone want to ask if when Obama told Putin he would be more flexible after the election is the reason Obama refuses to help Ukraine?
Obama says when asked about acting with out Congress “It is my job to protect the American people & when our people or 1 of our embassies is in danger – I have to act immediately” So I ask – WHAT ABOUT BENGHAZI?
GAO now says that Obama broke the law when they traded for Berghdal & that they also broke law by using fund that were not available – $1 million
Those that came to this country the legal way & they aren’t happy about all the illegals that may be getting a free pass.
Millennium’s are losing faith in Obama at alarming rate.
WHO is going to get hurt if Obama uses exec order to give work visa’s to some 100,000.Let’s see that would be low & middle class that will now have to compete for those jobs. WHO is going to make sure that these 100,000 actually get work & pay taxes?
This from Obama
-on Ukraine-we will wait & see what happens
-on Gaza-what HAMAS has done is irresponsible-as usual-weak statement.
-O tells other countries to be transparent-Obama is least transparent & he tells others to be transparent. JOKE
-on Syria-O did nothing & killing are still going on
-on Libya-O got rid of Gaddafi & then country fell apart
-on Iran-O still negotiating with Iran while they are supplying Hamas with weapons
-on Iraq-O pulled out then Iran stepped in & country fell apart-all while we are still negotiating with Iran
Listening to Dem’s going on & on about the CHILDREN – THEY ARE NOT ALL CHILDREN. Question-WHY is NO ONE talking about the 2/3 of these crossing our border that are not children. 178,000-YES-that is the # of illegals that have come since Oct 2013. WHY is no one talking about the 118,000 that are not children? Intelligence report: 90% of the illegal children interviewed state they are not fleeing violence; they are coming because they were told they would get amnesty.
Update on IRS lost e-mails – now 1 IS persons has told us that hard drive had deep gashes on it. So they didn’t crash
-CIA caught spying on Senate & Dem’s not happy. Pheiffer says Brennan is a man of great integrity-in other words he does what Obama ask him to do.
-IRS we now have e-mail from Lerner showing her calling conservatives A..holes & crazies. Time to charge Lerner.
-IRS says now that they have found back-up tapes & are looking for Lerner e-mails-Is this another LIE from IRS?
-Fed courts say those using Obamacare that only those in state exchanges are allowed subsidies
-Another courts say all states are allowed subsidies
-9/11 Commission say that we are LESS safe now than before 9/11
-Benghazi report now says that they ask for extra security prior to attack when they learned that terrorists moved in right next door but State dept says they didn’t want to upset neighbors
-We now find out that Kerry released half of $$’s being held under sanctions back to Iran just to keep working on the deal.
-Story Bergdahl’s health. They now say he was tortured-of course he was-would you trust a deserter?
-Hagel says that they didn’t negotiating w/terrorists they negotiated w/Qatar. DO THEY THINK WE ARE ALL STUPID?
-Obama admin are saying those that were actually there when Bergdahl deserted are LYING.
Obama says that we never leave a man behind. Guess he has forgotten about Benghazi.
Anything reported–Obama says that he didn’t know.
Again we ask–What the hell does Obama know? Plausible Deni ability
Fast & Furious–Obama didn’t know-courts now say they must turn over documents-we will hold our breath for that 1.
Benghazi–Obama didn’t know-now documents show that Obama & Clinton LIED about the attack & Morrell gave St Dept cover. We also know that he was not in the situation room that night. All on ground said terrorists attack. CIA chose to listen to analyst in DC instead.
IRS–Obama didn’t know-now calling it a media scandal. DOJ says NO charges
NSA–Obama didn’t know
Obamacare not working–Obama didn’t know- Obama said he was not told DIRECTLY now there is a memo showing the White house was told 1 week prior to roll out of issues.
OH NO – not again. Obama admin admitted that it has lost emails from the key official who oversaw the botched Obamacare roll out last year
Going after AP & FOX reporters phone records because they were reporting things that Obama didn’t want known – Obama didn’t know
ICE reports 36,000 illegals released last year & 1,000’s have criminal records-even rape & murder.
70% of VA facilities used secret waiting list. In 2011 they started the bonus program.
VA scandal They say Obama found out reading newspaper but Obama & Biden were told 5 years ago that VA was inaccurately report wait times.
Obama always says he will get to the bottom of it & then what do we see–NOTHING. Obama continues to say “We will bring those responsible to justice”. And what have we seen – NO ONE held accountable.
By the way-this is 1 woman that does not support Obama or anything that he stands for! We will get the truth 1 day. My motto:”I WILL NOT COMPLY!” So I will sing my song until he is gone.. Please enjoy & start learning the words.
