" I had missed 3 weeks of work by that time, and pay."
The what now? I can only assume this is in US, because in EU he would be 100000% entitled to pay for every single minute of this going on.

Maybe not if he is a Contractor.
Even in such case contract usually has a clause about premature termination and related compensation.
Did you read the article? There was no premature termination here. He was “fired” exactly because his contract expired.
It’s a shit situation and the company should have made him whole, but on ethical not legal grounds.

I think I would get a compensation bonus without even having to ask out of this (in the EU). Since he got a new contract, I hope he did negotiate a bit on the new terms in that contract.
Would have been clever to negotiate the missing three weeks pay into the new contract, e.g. as a signing bonus.
