The labor law posters provided for the benefits of all employees and applicants are now produced in some other languages apart from English to cover the teeming numbers of the workforce with other native language who cannot read in English.
Because of increasing sections of the working class that of different native languages that is not English and their lack of been able to read English language in some states, the need for this category of workers is been met by the production and provision of different labor law posters in languages like Spanish.
In a state like California labor law posters are produced and translated in the two languages of English and Spanish to cater for the diverse nature of the population in the state. The Florida labor law poster is compulsorily produced in the both languages of English and Spanish due to the same peculiarity.
These posters are translated and produced in these languages other than the English language so as to cater for the sizeable level of the workforce in such states that are only well conversant with their native language that is not English. Without such allowance for other predominant languages, the aim of making the rights and conditions under which employers and employees relate available to all parties through the labor law posters will be defeated. By making these state labor law posters available in the Spanish language, the unnecessary second-hand awareness of the information on posters from interpreters that may be compromised are bound to be unnecessary since the workers concerned can read it in their own native language.
Some people may criticize the non translation and production of such posters in other languages like Arabic, Chinese, and African languages. This is not done due to the numbers of the affected workers not been substantial and the fact that many of the people involved having a good command of reading in English language. In cases where there are needs to attend to substantial level of workforce population that can read in other languages than the one use in posting the labor law posters in a state, this can be accommodated accordingly.
Since the labor laws that resulted in the labor law posters are made in order to maximize the wellbeing of the workforce , going the extra mile to accommodate all concerned through the additional production of such posters in other languages order than English which is understand by the workforce is a step in the right direction.
