Hello Charles, quitting your job due to language barriers can be a complex issue. In the U.S., it's unlawful to discriminate based on national origin or language. However, employers can require English if necessary for business operations. You may have a case if you can prove that English was not necessary for your role.
English is my primary language but not his. Furthermore i believe many of those employees to ne illegal, though i have no proof.
Hello Charles, thank you for the additional information. It's important to note:
- Language requirements may be permissible if it's vital for the business.
- It's illegal for employers to hire undocumented workers.
However, suspicions without proof are not enough. If you're certain, you could report to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Of course but what about my situation
