How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• noting that the fact that employees were encouraged to speak Spanish when necessary makes “even more credible” the justification for a limited English-only rule
• finding that complaints by co-workers that plaintiffs were making fun of them in Spanish and that the constant Spanish-speaking made the co-workers uncomfortable was a legitimate non-discriminatory explanation in the disparate treatment context
• finding business necessity in limited English-only rule to promote communication among employees and to ensure that the business “runs smoothly and efficiently”
