Ordering Spanish-speaking workers to always speak English to each other while they are at the workplace does not violate Title VII.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employment discrimination based on national origin, which can include discrimination against an individual because of their primary language or because they speak a language other than English. Thus, a blanket policy requiring Spanish-speaking workers to always speak English could be considered discriminatory if it is not necessary for the operation of the business.
