Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come: EXPECTED Pandering to the Non-English Speaking

When I read this article, I have to tell you, I could feel the top of my head ready to explode:
A group of Spanish-speaking custodial workers in Colorado have filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission alleging that the Auraria Higher Education Center in Denver discriminated against them by failing to provide Spanish translations. 
The complaint, filed last week by a dozen custodial workers, contends that the employees suffered unfair working conditions because the AHEC failed to provide Spanish translations of policies and procedures.

AHEC vice president Blaine Nickeson had this to say:
“We’re not aware of any state statue that requires translation into a native language or any state policy that requires it either,” Nickeson said. 
He added that, with more than 100 custodial workers, Spanish speakers are not the only non-English speakers. 
“We have more than just Spanish speakers that work for us, so it would be difficult to do that for each and every native language,” Nickeson said, adding that the AHEC attempts to provide translations where they can on issues such as benefits or disciplinary action.
