I had this conversation last night at work.
Seems that the person in question would not be accepted by the polish workers.
Another sign of a bad government I am afraid. It's crazy.
Britain is going to the dogs. Wait and see that all the immigrants are going to take over and we british have no rights and are losing our identity.

Bruza 17/uk - what?! Wales has 2 good languages - English and Welsh. mellonsosb thinks that speaking a variety of two must be adequate to get a job. Spanish isn't an good language in any component of the united kingdom, so your answer does not make any sense. mellonsosb - Welsh regulation states that shoppers have the superb to be served in Welsh, so of path many employers choose to hire Welsh audio equipment. I went to college in North Wales (Colwyn Bay), and Welsh became not used or taught interior the college in any respect. I additionally went to college in Wales (Aberystwyth), my path became all in English and that i had particularly some distinctive section-time jobs the place not speaking Welsh became on no account held against me. some employers are prepared to take you on with out Welsh, or on the priority which you learn Welsh. I stay in London now so i won't have the ability to grant the present concern too accurately, yet possibly somebody else could have the skill to call some opportunities.

If you apply for a job which involves working with Polish speaking workers, then - I rest my case!
I worked with asylum seekers for many years. As a team we could communicate in: German, French, English, Italian, Spanish, Turkish, Arabic, Cantonese and Albanian. It was a great team. We had few communication problems.

Depends on the job I guess, but if the duties included conducting business in Polish, it would seem reasonable that the employer should expect the applicant to be familiar with that language.

This is what it's like living in the UK now...if it had been a Polish man who was turned down for not been able to speak English it would be called discrimination....
