No way this holds up either. Money owed is money owed. Employers who owe employees back money can't withhold money just because they were fired.
Arguably they could terminate the merchandise contract, meaning they wouldn't have to pay them in the future, but at the same time, I'm pretty sure they would have to stop production of the merchandise bearing said employee's likeness.
