Not sure how I missed this thread with so many replies, so forgive me if this point has been made.
The company knowingly hired Spanish speaking workers, it is the companies responsibility to provide signs their employees can read. Period, no argument. Unless it was a requirement for them to know English, then the company is at fault.
Why do people always side with the "boss" these days?

How he was hired has nothing to do with it, the company is responsible for the safety of it's employees, period.
Do you realise how many years it took working people to gain rights such as safety in the workplace?
But I guess people should just be glad they have a job eh?
"...Our employees are expected to interact with members of the public and that interaction we expect them to be able to understand English,” said Nickeson.

If you are saying I am a closet racist you read into what I was saying wrong. I will say it again diversity is what makes our country strong.
1st gen to 5th we are all immigrants for the most part. The cold hard truth is they fly the Mexican flag proudly while sending money back to what they consider home. America it seems is nothing more then a host. And when there is nothing more for the host to give they retire back home which is not America.edit on 11-5-2013 by SubTruth because: (no reason given)edit on 11-5-2013 by SubTruth because: (no reason given)

Campus operators said there is no state law requiring complete translations. It is standard at other universities in Colorado.
Sounds like it's a common practice to have warnings translated but these guys got caught with their pants down.

Sonn... come on man... its english. Its the world's first language (not in the number of speakers but in terms of international comunication). In any country, any god forsaken hellhole on this planet people speak english, I know I've been to some "ingrish - iez? carpet nize? u buy. u dollars. me big family. we no like u here. u come here. people die. many guns then others come with more guns" that sort of crap, you get the idea.
If you're going to try to appease everyone, considering the amount of foreigners you have there, you better prepare to make some pretty huge signs... theres only about 6000 languages in the world excluding dialects...
