I was reading that news story about a group of people who were suing the Salvation and Army as the organization has a policy of some sort where the employees need to be able to speak English and two people were fired after failing to do so for about a year.
Now apparently this is being dubbed as a discriminating practice. For myself, I can’t really see how one can justify that as a discriminating practice especially when you are in North America. I think the main argument is that they still hired the people knowing that they didn’t speak English and so it shouldn’t be a valid reason to fire them. But as mentioned, apparently they were specifically told that they would have to learn how to speak the language. In my opinion though, overall I think those people who initiated the lawsuit are simply abusing and trying to twist a law that was meant to protect people.
