The contingency that Axel lacks is discretion. As the policies and rules are comprehensive and negotiated by a union in a collective agreement, Axel does not have the discretion or the freedom to arbitrarily punish the subordinate. He must have a legitimate reason or cause as defined by the policies and rules.
