Answer:

Yes, they have a good case and a high chance of winning.

Step-by-step explanation:

(1). "Jose and Cesar discover that they are being paid less than non-Hispanic employees"

From the statement above; that is NUMBER ONE EVIDENCE in which their salary or wage rate is different and not only that it is lesser than the other non-Hispanic workers which means that the employers and managers are biased and they are engaging in racial discrimination.

(2). "they allege a hostile work environment and discriminatory terms and conditions of employment, including anti-Hispanic statements by managers and employees, segregated eating areas, and an "English-only" rule imposed by the contractor. "

This is the SECOND EVIDENCE OF RACISM(RACIAL DISCRIMINATION).

CONCLUSION: According to Title VII Civil Rights Act of 1964, employers should not and must not discriminate (base on gender, race, and many more) among their employees. All employees should have the same and equal rights.
