U.S. sues Salvation Army for speaking English
Quote:
The Federal Government has filed suit against the Salvation Army and is targeting other businesses that require employees to speak English on the job.
The Salvation Army Thrift Store being targeted by the Equal
Opportunities Commission (EEOC) clearly posted its "speak English"
requirements and gave employees one year to learn the language.
But the EEOC still filed suit saying this was a "civil rights" violation.
And it's getting worse. Last year, over 200 similar charges
were filed with the EEOC -- up from just a handful ten years ago.
+ + Nancy Pelosi sides with EEOC’s anti-English attacks
To make matters worse, Nancy Pelosi and Congress' Hispanic
Caucus have teamed up to block an effort to put an end to
the EEOC's attacks on businesses that require English.
Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) proposed a provision to the Commerce,
Justice, Science Appropriations Bill (HR 3093, S. 1745) that
would prevent the EEOC from such legal attacks. The full Senate
passed the bill--with the Alexander provision. The House also
greed to the amendment, but later withdrew support after the
Hispanic Caucus threatened to stonewall other House bills unless
the provision was removed. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi
agreed, saying the House will not vote on the bill until the
English language provision is terminated.
, Pelosi and a small group of Congressmen are defending the EEOC's efforts to sue organizations like the Salvation Army that require English on the job!
