Two Spanish-speaking Erath County employees say they were asked to sign an 'English-only rule' after they were accused of gossip.
This policy and rollout was a decision made by Erath County tax assessor-collector Jennifer Carey after consulting with Erath County attorney Lisa Pence for use in her department, Huckabee said. He added, this was done without his consultation or that of the Commissioners Court, or Human Resources.
“This is not a policy that has ever been considered nor will ever be implemented at a County level, and I would strongly advise that no individual office issue such a policy,” Huckabee’s statement read.“I don’t feel like this was right what they did. They could have handled things very, very differently. This shouldn’t have been an issue. This shouldn’t have even been a thing that they decided to make up,” Cajamarca said. “What they did was very unjust. What they did was very unfair.
Cajamarca said she has put in her two-week notice. Another Spanish-speaking employee, Mary Cruz Serrano, said she is considering leaving, but she cannot leave right now. “Financially, I do pay a lot of things on my own. I do still live with my parents, but I do pay for a lot of stuff on my own. So, I’m trying to be financially independent,” Serrano said. “It’s just very stressful to see them every day and for them to act like nothing happened.”
Cajamarca said in her opinion, the people who were involved with the “English-only rule” should be reprimanded.
