Legal Question in Employment Law in California

I have a co-worker who works in classified ad sales. She was recently �reassigned� to what amounts to telemarketing without being asked (or agreeing to it). She was not advised about the new requirements or job expectations. She is still in a commissioned position but she is losing her clients. Her clients were divided up between the other co-workers and she will no longer receive the commission for them. Additionally she is required to cover for said co-workers when they are absent from their workstation but does not receive the commission on the work she does while there.

Also each ad sales rep must follow up on their clients and again try to sell them more advertising (Re solicit). When the reclassified co-worker gains new clients, she is not allowed to re-solicit them. The new clients are again divided up between the other co-workers.

The questions: are there labor laws against this kind of work practice, and does she have avenues to legally address this issue? Her totals will go down on monthly reports while co-workers totals will go up. Eventually she will be fired for totals not meeting expectations.
