Another possibility is that FA mgt was less accommodating to life's nuances and in the "game of 'a contract is a contract' " used discipline as a means of fear and intimidation to keep the "rule of law".....in other words...just another pizzing contest pitting one side against the other resulting in more of a hostile work environment
Hmmm....could be one, some or all of the mentioned reasons or something not mentioned yet
So many nuances

As far as the second option, also a possibility...but when rules are black and white both parties know what the expectations are.

Why aren't more people talking about the toxic chemicals in the uniforms that our FA's are being forced to wear? It's becoming ridiculous and needs to be addressed ASAP. 
And if you don't even know what I'm talking about, do a quick google search and you'll be appalled by what you find.
These hardworking FA's need a union and it needs to be now.
