its not discrimination at all. You should actually read the law concerning employment. Not allowing someone to speak their native language while ON the business times (as a representative of that business) is in no way an issue of discrimination .
You need to brush up on your English skills yourself!
*American's are the **only people** in a country*
Some words left off in the editing. But glad to know that you're attention to the substance was not missed and by your position only the editing of a sentence before posting is the subject of your objection.

I think you should read the law. I've posted the case law from the EEOC already several times within this thread.

I have read the law and the EEOC. None of it supports that its an act of discrimination if it applies across ALL people who speak ANY language.
If its not targeting a specific group of people, its not discrimination.
Sear's policy is applying to all employees (spanish speaking, japanese speaking, russian speaking, whatever).
BTW, Sear's is not saying that their employees can't speak to customers in the language they understand. They are just not allowing their employees SPEAK different languages to each other, in the ear shot or in front of customers if it has nothing to do with business.
Back room, stock, repair area, outside of customer's ear shot, they can speak whatever language they want.
Why do we favor accommodating Spanish speakers over KOREAN, FRENCH, GERMAN, OR CHINESE?
Spending power ... our country and the participating companies here have realized the money that could come from all the Spanish-speaking people here. I was watching a basketball game today from the NBA and the team jerseys said, "Los Bulls" and "Los Heat." I had to chuckle because I always LARGE if it were not for illegal immigration.
My maids are white. They can barely speak English themselves. My yard guys are Mexican. They can speak English, Spanish, Portuguese and two speak fluent french. I'm sure they could teach you a few things.
I and many others would consider them superior, not only to the fine young ladies who clean my house, but to my Mayor, my councilwoman, my police chief, and my President who can only speak one language as well.
Nice try at the bait...guess which group applies?
Your maids are "white" and they don't speak English? Wtf? What do you mean "white?" I think you are making this up to try to support what you are saying and to try to prove a point against the other poster. Especially with your "I'm sure they could teach you a few things," comment.
I think you are sitting behind a computer and making this stuff up. You probably don't even have maids, lol.
You're playing that whole role of trying to uplift "Mexicans" or other Spanish-speaking people while trying to make everyone else in this country appear like the bad guy or limited.
That is the role that people like yourself play. You also say, "Nice try at the bait ..." to that other poster, it shows that you recognize your own crafty ways.
