Not HR but worked as an attorney for a municipal Union. They fired an employee for clocking in literally 5 seconds too late (he admittedly had been warned not to clock in late). We took that to arbitration and won. Another time an employee was fired for sick time a***e. He took two weeks off after an on the job heart attack. We won that it arbitration as well.
It's a good reason why we should all unionize. These guys would have been fired with no recourse if they weren't unionized.
