McDonald’s Bans Arabic In Israeli Restaurants
“McDonald’s Corporation today confirmed that it has a policy banning its employees from speaking Arabic in its restaurants in Israel, despite the fact that Palestinian citizens of Israel form 20% of its workforce, and Arabic is one of the two official languages of Israel. The Corporation denied, however, that Abeer Zinaty, a former ‘Excellent Worker 2003 — McDonald’s Israel,’ was fired because she spoke Arabic on the job.”
