Hi all,
I work for a "EUROPEAN" airline, and recently heard whispers that at work the only language I am supposed to use is ENGLISH. Not obeying this rule, will see the employee in question being called up and punished.
I understand in our business that, in the cabin, the company may prefer their employees speak english in front of passengers. That is their right
HOWEVER ------->
WHAT gives a company the right to insist on ENGLISH being spoken elsewhere at work (i.e briefing room / canteen before going out to the aircraft).
This is nothing short of racial intolerance, but I suspect it is more to do with paranoia, whereby management are suspicious of what is being talked about, or maybe so uneducated that they are just not capable of understanding a language other than english.
Your Comments please,
Thanks,
A Frustrated EUROPEAN
