Question:

In 2006, the management of Delano Regional Medical Center held a mandatory meeting for Filipino-American employees regarding the hospital’s English-only policy, which required employees to speak in English except when speaking to a patient who had other language needs, or during break time. The hospital’s chief executive stated that failure to comply with the policy would result in surveillance cameras being installed to monitor the languages spoken by Filipino workers. Supervisors, staff, and volunteers were asked to report any incidences of noncompliance and would reprimand the Filipino employees. The hospital employed a mix of bilingual employees speaking Spanish, Hindi, Bengali, and other languages, but only Filipinos were required to attend the meeting and non- Filipino staff who routinely spoke languages other than English—such as Spanish—on the job were not disciplined. Is this English-only policy in violation of Title VII or is it acceptable? [EEOC v. Central California Foundation for Health d/b/a Delano Regional Medical Center, Case No. 10-CV-01492-LJO-JLT (ED Cal. DATE? Filed 2010, settled 2012).]
