The Sawmill Hotel Case Summary

1483 Words6 Pages

The Sawmill Hotel wanted to have a greater focus when it comes to customer satisfaction.

After reviewing the surveys, the Sawmill Hotel had several complaints from clients that involved Spanish speaking personnel. As a result the top management decided to impose an English-only policy. Under this policy, employees were only allowed to speak English unless requested otherwise by management or customers. The head of all the assistants, Rachel, believed the policy was too severe on the native Spanish-speaking assistants at the hotel.

The only problem here is a discrimination problem, which would be in violation of the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (as described in the section

  • English Should Be America's Official Language

    Understanding English helps immigrants find better jobs, reducing poverty and increasing the nation’s economy. Upon immigration to any country, one of the first things one must do is find a job. However, if one cannot speak the language of their new country, many employers find it disadvantageous to hire foreigners who are not English proficient. In Blackwell 's article “English Should Be America’s Official Language” he says that “[people] who can speak English can compete for better jobs, with better pay,” as they have one of the most basic skills required for most jobs in America (par. 10). In fact, some employers are even requiring their employees to only speak English while on the job.
