EEOC takes up sexual harassment cases against Globe Life subsidiary

Ten months after my first article about the toxic and dangerous workplace at The Arias Organization, a top life insurance agency of Globe Life, Inc., the EEOC took the unusual step of reopening two sexual harassment claims that it had previously dismissed and a Pennsylvania regulator fined a Globe subsidiary for deceptive consumer practices.

In my series of investigations about Globe, its wholly owned subsidiary American Income Life and Arias, I’ve been documenting a toxic workplace where multiple agents said women were sexually harassed and assaulted, drugs were used openly and customer deceit was widespread.

Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway has shed millions of his shares of Globe, down to only 831,000 shares as of Sept. 30, from 6.35 million shares when Business Insider published my first investigation of Globe’s Arias Organization in February. You can read my story here.
