There, a male truck driver who was a devout Jehovah's Witness refused to work overnight runs with female drivers, giving his religious beliefs as his reason.

You have a right to work in a respectful, harassment-free environment. You can let your coworkers and your boss know that you are offended by their remarks, make a complaint through your company's procedures, file a grievance if you belong to a union, or file a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
