Ms Slothrop is a blue-collar worker and a union member, and she called the guy audacious, so I'll stand with her. And I don't think they were earned. The guy got them on day one, and didn't get any more from working the rest of the year, so he wasn't working for them.

Suppose a company has Canadian owners, and gives everyone the day off on Canada Day, and Canadian Thanksgiving, and, uh, some third Canadian holiday like Poutine Day. No one earned those days off -- they're holidays. If someone decides to work on them anyway, it would be audacious to demand to be paid for it.

*Would you demand repayment if your former employee had taken them and left before the end of the year? You probably would, you greedy** bastard.

** Isn’t it Alana-ic, don’t you think?
No, that's silly. Thanks for pointing that out.
