La Cantera Resort Firm Paying $2.625 Million to Settle Federal Complaint Over English-Only Workplace Policy


SAN ANTONIO -- La Cantera Resort & Spa's former management company will pay $2.625 million to settle an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission suit alleging it created a hostile workplace for Latinx workers.

The federal agency sued in September of 2018, alleging that the Hill Country resort's operator Destination Hotels and Resorts — purchased last year by Hyatt Hotels Corp. — mistreated workers based on their national origin and retaliated against those who opposed an English-only policy.

In a news release, La Cantera said its former management company reached a settlement on this issue but added that the claims, which date back five years, are without merit. The resort is currently operated by Benchmark Global Hospitality.

“Several employees, who are among the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, remain employed at the resort, in that same department," La Cantera Resort Managing Director John Spomer said in a written statement. "We do not tolerate discrimination, harassment, or retaliation in any form and are proud to employ a diverse, multicultural workforce with ethnic minorities being the majority of our staff.”

If they are not dealing with the public or other coworkers , I never get why anyone cares what people are saying to each other unless they are just nosy or worse paranoid .
Of course just racists and triggered by a foreign language is an option I guess
