Delivery Service Company Faces Allegations of Pregnancy Discrimination in Louisiana

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed an action in federal court to enforce a subpoena issued during its investigation into allegations against JamRock Solutions LLC.

JamRock Solutions is an Amazon delivery service partner, and a charge received by the EEOC in April 2024 alleged violation of federal law by failing to accommodate an employee’s pregnancy-related limitations.

The charge alleged that a former driver at JamRock’s distribution center in St. Rose, Louisiana sought an accommodation for a pregnancy-related lifting restriction and that JamRock claimed there was no accommodation to allow her to continue operating as a driver during her pregnancy. The driver then sought to change to a dispatcher position as an accommodation, as she had prior dispatch experience. Instead, JamRock hired two new dispatchers and removed her from the schedule entirely, according to the charge.

During its investigation, the EEOC issued a subpoena to JamRock seeking a copy of the driver’s work schedules, a copy of the job descriptions for JamRock’s driver and dispatcher positions, and the identities of all individuals hired during the relevant four-month period.

The EEOC filed the action (EEOC v. JamRock Solutions LLC, Case No. 2:26-mc-00528) in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana after first attempting to obtain voluntary compliance with its investigative requests.
