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.

Exxon Mobil sued as 5 nooses displayed at Louisiana facilityA U.S. government lawsuit alleges that Exxon Mobil Corp. violated federal law for failing to take sufficient action as five hangman’s nooses were displayed at its facility in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. While that's really bad, I'd be much happier if the federal government cracked down on Exxon for the price gouging on their gas post-COVID. Most unserious government in US history. You mean they saw 5 slipknots.
