Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that her former employer's
actions are illegal. You can't give a negative reference, the "worst" you can
say is "no comment". If they're making false statements that are negative
about her, that's slanderous and grounds for a civil suit. Contact an attorney
- you could get damages for lost wages based on the number of jobs she's lost
out on as a result.
