Dear jpg:
I would suggest that your friend go to the nearest EEOC office (State or Federal) and attempt to file a complaint. She may get a sympathetic Case Worker who would extend the time limits because your friend was not aware of the law. (Did she happen to notice an Equal Employment Opportunity poster in the workplace??)
In addition, she can look for an employment attorney (look in the yellow pages or call the local Bar Association for a referral) to discuss a possible unjust termination civil suit.
