The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights held a meeting which included presentations on the issue of employers specifying English as the common language of the workplace. Employers argue that it can be necessary in order to ensure a safe workspace free of racial or gender-related issues, to ensure quality and efficiency of work, and for customer relations.
