i work for a manufacturing company...usually, i don't care how well a person speaks English...but i need technical help on a very time sensitive program, and i need someone that speaks "perfect English", in the sense that English is their primary language, and at least understand the words i speak...So that i don't have to explain what i mean when i use standard American English or slang, and so that i can understand the other person easily when they talk
is this legally acceptable? i don't consider this to be discriminatory, because the capability to speak a language is a skill, and people can be hired and fired based on skills...its not like the job doesn't req language, and i just want an American or anything like that... I just don't have the time to teach someone how to do what i need them to do, while teaching them English...
I DO NOT WANT YOUR MORAL OPINION. I NEED TO KNOW THE LEGAL IMPLICATIONS.
Thanks
