Amazon must provide the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) with more specific information on how it accommodates its pregnant warehouse workers. 

US District Judge Lorna Schofield ordered the e-commerce giant to comply with a federal agency subpoena last Thursday (11 July). The US civil rights agency is investigating claims that Amazon had discriminated against five pregnant women working in its fulfilment centres in New Jersey, Connecticut, North Carolina, and California.
