airport workers protest English-only test
Somali refugees want jobs back as airplane cleaners

A move to tighten airport security by requiring that workers read enough
English to pass a written test has cost a group of Somali refugees their
jobs at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.

The workers claim the rule has been inconsistently applied and that they
were blindsided when they had to take tests on security procedures
without a translator last month.
=20
Ten Somalis =97 nine women and one man =97 failed the test and were =
fired
from their jobs as airplane cleaners. They had held the jobs for up to
seven years.
=20
"We'd love to go back to our job," said Safio Mohamed, 40, one of the
Somali women and an American citizen.
=20
"We know the rules and regulations of homeland security," she said
through an interpreter. "We didn't have any security problems at all.
This is discrimination because of a language barrier."
=20
The Somalis worked for Aramark Aviation Services, a contractor for Delta
Air Lines. About 950 Aramark workers at Hartsfield-Jackson clean Delta
planes and check them for weapons or suspicious items.
=20
Hartsfield-Jackson officials say that after the Sept. 11, 2001,
terrorist attacks, they moved to tighten rules on security badges given
to airport workers. One way was to require that they take tests in
English when renewing badges.
=20
"Our signage out here, all of our signs, are in English," airport
spokesman Robert Kennedy said. "If something happens, they have to be
able to react and direct passengers in case there's an emergency.
=20
"Everyone who has a badge has the responsibility to help if something
happens," he said. "What if there were a fire? How could they warn
people of the danger?"
=20
The airport shows workers a video about security rules before they take
the test. The airport also submits workers' fingerprints to the FBI to
weed out criminals.
=20
Kennedy said the English-only rule took effect at the end of 2001, but
an airport spokeswoman later said it's unclear how or when the rule was
announced to contractors.
=20
The Somali women claim they were able to use a translator when they took
a test to renew their badges in March 2002. At the renewal last month,
they said, were they told they could not use a translator to read them
the test questions and multiple-choice answers. They also blame internal
politics at Aramark, claiming their supervisor set them up to fail while
helping others pass the test.
=20
Kennedy said the airport's security department has no knowledge of
anyone using an interpreter since the end of 2001.
=20
Henry Panell, assistant general manager at Aramark, said he expects more
foreign-born employees to lose jobs this year as they take the test
without interpreters.
=20
Aramark has workers from Africa, Vietnam and Central America, Panell
said. The company has offered English classes, and some Vietnamese
workers took them and later passed their tests, he said.
=20
Ali Omar, executive director of the Georgia Somali Community Center in
Clarkston, said most of the fired women have three or four children.
Between work on the night shift and family obligations during the day,
they don't have time for English classes, he said. He served as
translator for the fired workers in a recent interview that he arranged
to call attention to their situation.
=20
The Transportation Security Administration, set up after 9/11 to
federalize most elements of airport security, leaves the details of
issuing badges up to each airport.
=20
Los Angeles International Airport doesn't test workers but rather
conducts training to teach basic security rules about the restricted
sections of the airport, LAX spokeswoman Nancy Castles said. The class
is given in English, she said. The airport gives a test in English or
Spanish to those who must drive carts around the airfield, she said.
=20
Boston's Logan International Airport asks workers a series of questions
when they receive badges, a spokesman said. If the worker needs an
interpreter, the airport or the contractor can call one, the spokesman
said, adding it hasn't been a big issue.
=20
Delta is responsible for credentialing employees in the airport's secure
area. At the Delta maintenance center, which has 7,000 workers, the
company gives the test on a computer. But it has allowed contractors who
provide ancillary services to provide Spanish translation for workers
who need it, said Greg Mears, general manager of safety and security at
the facility.
=20
The Somali women said through their translator they are grateful America
rescued them from the civil war in their country. But they are upset
about the way they lost their jobs. They earn $8.10 per hour and still
support relatives in refugee camps. Omar is helping them fill out
unemployment paperwork.
=20
"There are other Somalis who work over there, and they are worried
they're going to be out of a job soon," Omar said.
