Radio station operator Grupo Radio Centro LA LLC has been hit with a wrongful termination lawsuit, removed Tuesday to California federal court, by two former employees who say they were fired after they reported suspected Nielsen ratings fraud and after they uncovered that the station was employing unauthorized immigrants.
The suit, originally filed last month in a state court, alleges that the company, whose parent company is based in Mexico City, subjected the employees to a hostile work environment.

The lawsuit was filed by former GM Sean O'Neill and office manager Rosa Ambriz against Grupo Radio and morning personality Ricardo "El Mandril" Sanchez as well as 50 unnamed "Does" alleging that they were fired after blowing the whistle on ratings fraud, payola/plugola, and employment of undocumented workers at Regional Mexican KXOS 93.9 FM in Los Angeles.

O'Neill and Ambriz allege that the defendants took retaliatory and adverse actions against them and subjected them to "ongoing hostility in the work environment... (and) intolerable working conditions, obstructing other economic and career opportunities for Plaintiffs, engaging in a campaign of character assassination against (O'Neill)... and making demeaning remarks and defamatory statements" about him, and wrongfully terminating O'Neill.
