A group of 52 nurses and staff is seeking to join an August complaint filed by the EEOC against the Delano Regional Medical Center, an acute care facility in the San Joaquin Valley. The complaint alleges illegal bias in the hospital’s enforcement of an “English-only” rule; the employees claim that Tagalog was banned, but that other employees were permitted to speak Spanish and Hindi.
