2) because of one of the programs they run is in the building the offices of this non-profit, for SEVERAL HOURS, the building is on lock-down,
Huh?
But yeah, lockdown? The fuck? Also, I'm betting that holiday thing is flat out illegal too.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

I guess the org organizes a program that allows dads who beat their wives/partners to interact with their children, and that time together takes place at the house that serves also as the offices of the org. So, I assume to prevent these men from kidnapping their kids, or whatever, they are on lockdown.
Yeah, in a fire or other emergency, you really want to have many CHILDREN trapped in a building too.

Because books.
I get that cost might be an issue, but surely some kind of bracelet (like the ones they put on parents/newborns in hospitals) would be smarter than locking everyone in the building.

I am just flabbergasted that ONE person for a MOMENT thought this was a good and feasible idea, let alone making it a program and process. OMG.

Well, here's the locked door law. [link]
Now to try to find the weird vacation/holiday thing. I have found a bunch of stuff on labor, but this particular thing never comes up.

Haven't quite worked up to that. Can I call and ask on behalf of a friend? Will they make me spill information?

I wouldn't think that you have to give them any information. Just call and ask if there is a law or regulation against requiring employees use vacation days on a holiday when they are required not to come to work.
eta: or, if you find me the number, I'll call.
