> Employee protections under the ESA — including public holiday pay and the right to refuse work for many retail employees — would continue to apply because Family Day and Victoria Day would remain public holidays under the ESA.

The Retail Businesses Act was changed to remove Victoria Day, but the ESA references an older version of the RBA. Does this mean you can refuse work if your employer asks you to work Victoria Day still in Retail?

The Ontario page even says that Retail Workers can still refuse work on the day.

EDIT: Was answered, you cannot.
