ACLU Demands End to Whole Foods’ "No Spanish" Policy
ALBUQUERQUE, NM—Yesterday, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of New Mexico sent a letter to counsel for Whole Foods Market, demanding that the grocery store chain adopt a language policy that respects the cultural diversity of New Mexico and does not discriminate against Spanish-speaking employees. The ACLU of New Mexico sent the letter on behalf of their clients, Lupe Gonzales and Bryan Baldizan, who were singled out and disciplined for speaking Spanish to one another while at work. Gonzales grew up in the village of San Ysidro in Northern New Mexico speaking Spanish as her first language and Baldizan has spoken Spanish with his family in Mexico since he was a young boy. For both employees, Spanish is an important part of their identity.
