speaking another language at the work place

this was part of an e-mail that was sent out at my job and i would like to know if this is legal... '' ''Language - The language that must be spoken on the floor is English. Management must assume that if you are speaking another language - you are NOT conducting business. Please be mindful of your co-workers and the environment everyone must work in. '' ''
