FILE - The logo for ExxonMobil appears above a trading post on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on April 23, 2018. The U.S. government said in a lawsuit filed Thursday, March 2, that ExxonMobil Corp. violated federal law for failing to take sufficient action after five hangmans nooses were displayed at its facility in Baton Rouge, La.
According to the government, in January 2020, a Black employee found a hangman’s noose at his worksite at the Baton Rouge complex run by Exxon Mobil Corp. and reported it. At the time, the company knew of three other nooses that had been found at the complex, but it failed to investigate all the complaints and take action to prevent such harassment, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission said in its lawsuit filed Thursday.
Todd Spitler, a spokesperson for Exxon Mobil, said in a statement Sunday that the company disagrees with the EEOC’s allegations and that it “encourage employees to report claims like this, and we thoroughly investigated.” Employers who become aware of racially offensive or threatening conduct in the workplace are legally obligated to take “prompt, remedial action aimed at stopping it," Rudy Sustaita, an attorney at the EEOC’s Houston district office, said in a statement.
I would like the Federal Government to define noose. I would also like to see pictures. My money is on that they are actually just loops on the ends of rope.
The federal government is full of 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩.
Were they the Western movie “cowboy coil” or the British style with the brass eyelet? Someone is going to pull a fast one here and hang (ha ha) this type up and no one is going to recognize it!
I bet it was a black person staging this! It always is.
Give me a break. I worked for Exxon and they have every pro brown and black and gay group possible. BEST (Black Employee Success Team) ect. The only thing they don’t have is anything for the white male.
... and the attack on oil companies begin. Right before the summer price hikes. niiiice
