The manager at Bayerische Motorenerke (BMW) auto processing centre in Garching bei München, stopped about 20 German-Turkish workers working in the same change to speak Turkish.
Workers reacted to the ban that was introduced at the factory, where 7,000 people from 50 different countries work, writes IndexOnline.
According to the German daily Bild, employees were forbidden to speak Turkish in other parts about the factory. The supervisor told the workers at the Garching factory to speak only German.
Workers who were affected by the ban rejected the decision. Turkish workers said they were exposed to discrimination, complaining at the Department of Human Resources. The department began to review the event about the arbitrary practice of responsibility and claimed such a practice was illegal.
Company spokesman Jochen Frey said that BMW workers are not obliged to use a certain language among them in the factory, but adding that German must still be common language so that everyone can understand each other.
The company does not force the language in which employees should speak, but sets limits to speak German while working, so that work guidelines can be understood by all”, he said.
Although this is Frey's official statement, one of the main reasons it is said to be because other colleagues have complained that Turks made fun of them by talking behind their backs in Turkish.
