In a striking legal battle, an African American delivery driver has filed a lawsuit against his former employer and its owner, alleging racial discrimination and violations of labor laws. Collin Dixon initiated the complaint on May 7, 2025, in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida, targeting Squire Trading Inc., doing business as A Baby’s Choice, and Gary Lipack individually.

Collin Dixon’s complaint details a troubling narrative of alleged racial discrimination during his tenure at Squire Trading Inc., where he claims to have been subjected to racial slurs and discriminatory treatment. The lawsuit asserts that Dixon was wrongfully terminated due to his race after enduring derogatory remarks from Gary Lipack, who allegedly expressed disdain for hiring African Americans. Furthermore, post-termination communications from Lipack reportedly mocked Dixon’s legal recourse attempts by flaunting their evasion of EEOC jurisdiction due to company size constraints. Dixon accuses the defendants of violating 42 U.S.C. § 1981 and the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), seeking back pay for unpaid overtime, liquidated damages, compensatory and punitive damages, reinstatement or front pay, injunctive relief, interest, and attorneys’ fees.

The plaintiff recounts specific incidents supporting his claims: being underpaid despite working over forty hours in multiple weeks between October 2023 and January 2024; experiencing racist comments from Lipack during work-related interactions; and facing unjust accusations leading to his dismissal. Following his termination in January 2024, Dixon approached the EEOC with a discrimination charge but received notice of dismissal due to Squire Trading’s insufficient employee count under Title VII requirements. This setback was compounded by a taunting message from Lipack highlighting this dismissal.
