Question:

Colleen Donnelly filed charges with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) against her employer, Yellow Freight, for sex discrimination. After she filed the charges, Colleen received notice from the EEOC that she had 90 days to bring suit. This 90-day period was a procedure for claims under the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964. Within that period Donnelly did indeed file suit but in an Illinois state court under an Illinois statute that also prohibits such discrimination. After the 90-day period had expired, however, she tried to transfer the suit to a federal court. Yellow Freight defended claiming that she could not make such a transfer as the 90-day period had expired for federal actions. Should she be allowed to go forward with her suit? Why or why not? (Donnelly v. Yellow Freight System, Inc., 874 F.2d 402)
