Who can help my dutch friend get the pay she's earned?

Question

We work for a subsidiary of a large US company on a website, she does translating work as well as full time moderating. It's a full time, hourly position. She was recently fired because they decided they only needed one dutch person, but then the other one quit so they hired her back. The lapse in time has screwed up her pay It has now been 3 months without pay, and although she emails and calls every day, nobody can give her answers (or write a check, I guess!). Is there anyone outside the company she can contact to make them pay her? She's got to have some rights here.

Update:

She doesn't want to stop working because once they do pay up she won't be paid for all the hours she was supposed to work.

She needs to contacts the labor authorities in the country in which she resides, since that presumably is her place of employment.

? · Answer

Why does she keep working after not receiving her FIRST check?  If I didn't receive any money for my work after the first week, call me crazy, but I wouldn't have kept going.
