Dennis, 

I don't know if it's the same in Illinois as here in Ohio, but hiring a lawyer 
won't get her anywhere.  Actually, no lawyer would take her money.  It's 
discrimination, absolutely, but employers have the absolute right to cut 
hours, switch shifts, or just plain fire someone for NO reason at all. 

If she has legitimate proof (i.e. a document signed by her employer stating 
that the reason her hours were cut was because she wouldn't show off her 
breasts), then she has a sexual harassment case, but I bet all she has is 
personal experience and talk.  

To the lady in this situation:  I suggest you find another place of 
employment.  Sexual harassment and discrimination do exist, but in the grey 
blurry eyes of the law and everyone else, it's to be expected in the bar 
business.
