United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission V. Exxon Mobil Corporation
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has filed a lawsuit against Exxon Mobil Corporation for violating an employee's rights under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title I of the Civil Rights Act of 1991. The lawsuit alleges that ExxonMobil failed to take prompt remedial measures to stop racial harassment in the workplace, despite being aware of multiple incidents of hangman's nooses being found at their Baton Rouge Complex. The lawsuit seeks appropriate relief for the employee and aims to correct the unlawful employment practices on the basis of race. This includes a permanent injunction, compensation for past and future losses, punitive damages, and other relief deemed necessary by the court. Additionally, a jury trial is requested on all questions of fact raised by the complaint.
