Class Member Search and Claims Process in Select EEOC Litigation and Settlements

The EEOC currently has a number of on-going lawsuits and settlements of lawsuits in which we are seeking to identify class members. We are trying to identify people who may have been affected by the unlawful discrimination alleged in these suits.  Please read the list below for the name of the company, the type of discrimination, the basis of the action, and the contact information if you would like to learn more.

  • Ecoserv, LLC

    In September 2023, the EEOC filed a lawsuit in federal court against industrial cleaning company Ecoserv, LLC, alleging sex, race, and age discrimination in hiring. The case, EEOC v. Ecoserv, LLC, Case No. 6:23-cv-01321, is filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana in Lafayette, Louisiana. The EEOC alleges that since at least 2016, Ecoserv has engaged in a pattern or practice of discriminating against applicants who are Black, female, and/or over the age of 40.  The EEOC is currently in litigation and seeks to identify class members who may have been subjected to hiring discrimination. 

    Individuals who believe they did not get a job with Ecoserv because they were Black, Female, or over the age of 40 at the time they sought employment with Ecoserv should contact the EEOC to determine whether they may be a class member in the EEOC’s lawsuit at: ecoservlawsuit@eeoc.gov or (504)-635-2567.

  • Fricker’s

    In September 2023, the EEOC filed a lawsuit in federal court against Fricker’s U.S.A., LLC, and Fricker’s Holding Company, Inc., for sex discrimination in hiring. The case, EEOC v. Fricker’s U.S.A., LLC and Fricker’s Holding Company, Inc., Case No. 3:23-cv-00282-MJN-CH), is filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. The lawsuit alleges Fricker’s restaurants, located in Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana, have engaged in a pattern or practice of denying front-of-house positions (server, bartender, and host/greeter) to male applicants and employees. The lawsuit further alleges that Fricker’s restaurants exclusively employ females for all front-of-house positions and that this has deterred males from applying for these positions. The EEOC seeks to identify individuals who may have been subject to hiring discrimination or who decided not to apply because of Fricker’s discriminatory hiring practices. 

    Males who believe they did not get a front-of-house position at a Fricker’s restaurant due to their sex, or who did not apply for a front-of-house position because of Fricker’s hiring practice, should contact the EEOC to determine whether they may be a class member in EEOC’s lawsuit, by emailing frickerslawsuit@eeoc.gov or calling (513) 914-6036.
