The two employees, who were clothes sorters, had been working at the Salvation Army for about five years before the Salvation Army decided to enforce their English language rule. One would think the Salvation Army would have a hard time proving that they weren't able to communicate with them if they had already been kept on for five years.

I'm not saying the Salvation army is right, but it's still ridiculous.

why do you think they are wrong? how is it unreasonable to expect a worker to speak the official language of the country in which they live?

The USA has no official language.

But English IS the official language of Massachusetts.
