Nurses Fired for Speaking Foreign Language at Hospital
Four Filipina employees of Bon Secours Hospital in Baltimore City, MD were fired from their jobs due to speaking Pilipino during their lunch break. Last November, Bon Secours started an English-only language policy in the Emergency Room to make sure everyone can understand each other as they respond to life-and-death situations. In April, 4 employees were terminated supposedly due to violating this cause, and not all were nurses. One was a secretary, who was still surprised that she got the boot. Lawyer Arnedo Valera of the Virginia-based Migrant Heritage Commission has filed a complaint with the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), stating that the nurses were “arbitrarily terminated from work without due process.”
