ExxonMobil is being sued by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which claims the company failed to protect workers from racial harassment.
  • ExxonMobil didn't protect workers from racial discrimination, a federal agency says in a new suit.
  • Five nooses were found at a Louisiana Exxon plant, the EEOC says in the lawsuit.
  • Exxon told Insider it disagrees with the EEOC's findings, and said it "thoroughly investigated."

ExxonMobil didn't protect a worker from racial harassment when the company failed to take measures to prevent nooses from being hung at a plant in Louisiana, a federal agency claimed in a lawsuit filed this week.
