The owner and operator of Sbarro pizzeria locations across Florida have been accused of wrongfully firing an employee after she had complained about being racially discriminated against.

A federal lawsuit filed with the Southern District of Florida on Tuesday named Boca Raton businessman Francisco Javier Gavilan and his company Vivaria Group as defendants in a job discrimination claim. The plaintiff, Martha Ugalde, worked as Gavilan’s assistant for 12 years before her termination in February.
