Title Vii And The Protection Of Minority Languages In The American Workplace: The Search For A Justification, James Leonard
Title Vii And The Protection Of Minority Languages In The American Workplace: The Search For A Justification, James Leonard
Missouri Law Review
My purpose in this Article is to examine possible justifications for the EEOC's language rules under Title VII. Part II provides necessary background information, describing the EEOC rule system as well as the threegeneration process of English acquisition in immigrant families. The remainder of the Article is devoted to potential normative explanations for the EEOC rules. Part III asks whether the Guidelines promote equality interests while Parts IV and V question whether they vindicate personal autonomy or multicultural interests, respectively. I conclude that none of these arguments offers a sufficient justification for interfering with managerial judgments.
