Nina Ann you are right, your friend was treated poorly as well as a violation of ADA, American with Disability Act. She should seek out an employment attorney soon and file against her employer.The attorney very well may have her file an EEOC/Human Rights Commission complaint.see www.eeoc.gov. I would think that she could find an employment attorney that would take her case on contingency fee.
She has been wrongfully terminated.You may want to help her with the phone calls and identification of an attorney. You also can contact the EEOC to discuss as well. I wish her well and you are a good friend.
