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, the U.S. government said in a lawsuit.
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.
Then, in December 2020, a fifth noose was found at the complex, which includes a chemical plant and nearby refinery. Exxon Mobil’s lack of action created a racially hostile work environment, the EEOC said. “The symbols of hate are unacceptable, offensive, and in violation of our corporate policies,” Spitler said. “We have a zero tolerance policy of any form of harassment or discrimination in the workplace by or towards employees, contractors, suppliers or customers.”
Elizabeth Owen, a senior trial attorney in the EEOC’s New Orleans field office, said in a statement that the displays of nooses required swift action.
