Two Halliburton workers have filed a discrimination lawsuit in North Texas claiming the company did nothing as coworkers publicly called them derogatory names and accused them of being terrorists.

One man said he was fired when he complained about the harassment, according to a case filed Tuesday by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. It was filed on behalf of Hassan Snoubar, who is Syrian and Mir Ali, who is Indian. Both men are Muslim and say they were taunted since at least 2012.

Houston-based Halliburton is one of the largest oil field businesses in the world. The company said in a statement that it does not comment on pending litigation, and that it fosters a diverse and inclusive work environment for our more than 55,000 employees in approximately 80 countries.

The lawsuit claims both supervisors and subordinates participated in the incidents.

Snoubar, who did data collection, well repair and clean-up for the Houston-based oil company said he was called “camel jockey” and accused of working for the terrorist group ISIS because of his ethnicity.

He reported the conduct to a supervisor around 2015 but was told to ignore it, the lawsuit claims. When he later told human resources he was concerned about his safety, it was suggested that he transfer locations.

“He was, however, abruptly terminated in retaliation,” the lawsuit alleges.

Likewise, Ali said a supervisor frequently asked him about his “magic carpet” and colleagues openly criticized both mens’ clothes and accused “their people” of bestiality, the lawsuit said.

The EEOC has been prioritizing efforts to crack down on workplace discrimination. But most recently it added a specific focus to address backlash faced by people who are Muslim, Sikh, or of Arab, Middle Eastern or South Asian descent, as a result of national and international "tragic events."

Attorneys for the men said in a news release that the case should send a message that being taunted for religions beliefs or national origin should not be tolerated in the office.

“Passivity in the face of this kind of abuse is certainly enough for an employer to be held accountable, but the participation by supervisors in the mean-spirited degradation of an employee’s ethnic heritage and faith is unconscion­able as well as unlawful,” said EEOC Dallas District Office Regional Attorney Robert A. Canino.

“The oil field environment is not to be a free-fire zone for destructive energy in the form of open bigotry.”
