Exxon Mobil was sued by a federal agency for alleged racial discrimination against a Black employee after the worker found a hangman's noose at his worksite at a Baton Rouge, Louisiana, facility. It was one of several nooses found at the plant over a number of years, which the company failed to adequately address, according to the government.
Milferd McGhee, a Black employee who has worked at the Exxon plant since 2010, found a noose at his workplace in January 2020, according to the lawsuit from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which was filed on Thursday.
McGhee, who was aware that three previous nooses had been found at the Baton Rouge facility, reported the issue to his supervisor. Exxon wasn't able to determine who left the nooses, and the company recommended additional steps to remedy racial harassment in the workplace, the suit states.
However, the energy giant "did not complete all the measures recommended in its investigative report to remedy the harassment" — and a fifth noose was discovered at the same plant in December 2020, according to the suit.
In a statement emailed to CBS News, Exxon said it disagrees with the EEOC's findings and allegations.

EXXON must have forgotten to give DEMOCRATS MONEY!
Is there a legal definition of “noose”?
But what kind of adult would be scared or even mildly disturbed by finding such a thing? The same demographic that imagines it is the source of all knowledge and wisdom can be brought down by the mere sight of a noose or a cotton boll.
All the Feds need is to find a noose placed by a black guy.
Just another shake down scam many blacks now when being arrested and cuffed on the ground well I can’t breath BS.
I watched the FBI investigate nooses at a customer of mine’s very large plant. They were used to hold buckets up during maintenance work. We all knew it and let them go their way until a Jr employee spilled the beans.
Hoax
“company failed to adequately address”
Just what the hell is Exxon supposed to do?
This lawsuit is extortion plain, corrupt and contemptible.
Pure police state harassment and intimidation.
We use a taught line hitch all the time for an adjustable and fixable loop to hold things and adjustable back stays.
OMG! Bring on the feds! There is racial discrimination a-go-go!
Another hate hoax crime.
Suing Exxon is just another way for the government to get some extra money.
Din’t forget dogs. Digs are racist against blacks too.
Not this **** again!
Suspect #1 is Mr. McGee......
No, the money line is here:
However, the energy giant “did not complete all the measures recommended in its investigative report to remedy the harassment”
That allowing a hostile work environment. At least according to the people that make the rules. Has been for a while. Heck that kind of thing is a problem no matter which part of the government is bossing you around. “We told you to do this, you didn’t, there were problems, here comes the fines”.
Reminds me of the woke general running the AF Academy. Blamed whites and only afterward found out it was a black writing racist graffiti.
There's no excuse for Exxon gambling that it would cost them less to be sued than whatever it would have cost to conceal a surveillance camera at the victim's workspace.
Here we go again...
You just know it’s coming.
Probably hung by a blackman to get attention.
I’m sure exxon doesn’t have a policy to intimidate workers by hanging nooses. This is a waste of Gov’t resources.
I’d put serious money on this “noose” having been planted by a black person
