EEOC Files Subpoena Enforcement Action Against JamRock Solutions

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

JamRock Solutions is an Amazon delivery service partner based in Theordore, Alabama, 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.

“The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations to an employee’s known limitations related to pregnancy,” said Rudy Sustaita, regional attorney for the EEOC’s Houston District Office. “When an employer fails to comply with an EEOC subpoena, the Commission will seek relief in court as appropriate.”

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.
