Smart Bus System Charged with Ethnic Harassment

Summary

---

Other claims of offensive incidents include [Mazyn Barash] being asked where his camel was, photos of terrorists being placed on Barash's time card, a coworker talking about killing all Iraqis, posting of signs with cartoons ridiculing people of Arab descent, and Barash receiving a letter that threatened him and called him a "sand (nword)."

Both Barash and SMART spokespeople have said they could not comment on the case, but Barash's sister, Susan Kirma, said she believes her brother will be compensated, based on what she described as strong witness accounts in his favor and weak testimony from the defense.

Kirma said that she was convinced of the intensity of the discrimination when some of Barash's former coworkers testified to having left their jobs or transferred to different locations because of being uncomfortable amid the harassment.
