Washington : Donald Trump continues to remain in the news for some reason or the other. Several decisions have created a stir since Donald Trump took oath as the United States President. On taking oath, he took several decisions one after the other. His decisions are being opposed not only in the world but also in America. Meanwhile, Trump has once again issued a new order. Due to this, truck drivers of Sikh community have protested.
According to the information received, Donald Trump has made English mandatory for truck drivers in the US. Donald Trump has signed an executive order according to which it is mandatory for truck drivers to speak English. Trump’s order may affect truck drivers of the Sikh community, which can hinder their employment.
What is order?
Trump has signed an executive order for American truck drivers to establish general rules on the road. This executive order states that America’s truck drivers are essential for the country’s economy, their safety and livelihood of Americans.
This makes it important that it is necessary for professional drivers to know the English language from the point of view of safety. For this, drivers need to be able to read and understand traffic signals, as well as to communicate with officials at traffic safety, boundary patrolling, agricultural posts and cargo load stations.
English is the official language of America.
Donald Trump has declared English as the official national language of the United States. Meanwhile, it has now been made mandatory for truck drivers to learn English. At the same time, the Sikh Coalition Organization has expressed concern over this. The organization said, “We understand that this order was issued by the Transport Minister Scene Dafi to implement the needs of the English language and strengthen the inspection processes. However, this order could have an impact on Sikh truck drivers. Qualified Sikh individuals may face difficulties in getting employment.
This American executive order is a matter of serious concern for the Sikh community, which has a strong presence in the trucking industry. Currently, around 150,000 Sikhs work in the truck operating industry in the United States. 90% of these are Sikh truck drivers.
