In a dramatic legal filing, a former employee has accused her previous employer of severe discrimination and retaliation following her pregnancy announcement. On November 10, 2025, Kayla Walker filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas against Loomis Armored U.S., LLC. Walker alleges that Loomis Armored U.S., LLC engaged in discriminatory practices in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act.
The lawsuit outlines a series of events beginning in 2024 when Walker informed her supervisor about her pregnancy. According to Walker, this disclosure led to an immediate reduction in her work hours without explanation. When she raised concerns about this change, she was asked to provide medical documentation “ASAP.” Struggling to obtain this documentation from her doctor, Walker was eventually told by Human Resources that she could not be accommodated unless she accepted a demotion with a $5 per hour pay cut. Despite being reassigned to this new position without proper training or uniform changes, management sent out communications suggesting that such moves required permission—an indication that they were aware of the irregularity and potential injustice of their actions.
Walker claims that these changes and the stress associated with them led to gestational diabetes and other health complications. Her condition necessitated frequent medical appointments, yet management allegedly continued to exclude her from important communications and taunted her with suggestions that she could simply stay home instead of accepting the demotion. Attempts to address these issues through HR went unanswered, and even after filing a union grievance, Walker faced further reductions in work hours.
The complaint further details how Walker’s fiancé, also employed by Loomis at the time, experienced similar retaliatory actions after supporting her grievances. Ultimately forced to resign so they could relocate together with their newborn child following Walker’s termination on April 23, 2025, both individuals have suffered significant financial losses and emotional distress due to these alleged discriminatory practices.
Walker is seeking compensatory damages for emotional distress and financial instability caused by lost income and damage to her credit score. She also requests back pay for lost wages and benefits, punitive damages aimed at deterring future misconduct by Loomis Armored U.S., LLC, as well as attorney’s fees and costs related to the litigation process. Additionally, she seeks reinstatement or front pay if reinstatement is deemed unfeasible by the court.
Representing herself pro se in this case (Case No.: 4:25-cv-05380), Kayla Walker stands firm in her demand for justice against what she describes as an intolerable work environment created through systematic discrimination and retaliation during one of life’s most vulnerable periods—pregnancy.
