Answer to Question 1

Yes. The Court reached this conclusion based on the record before it, including:
(a) The two types of infractions involved were commonplace, and no discipline concerning violation of these rules had been issued to any employee prior to Santillo,
(b) No prior warnings were issued in accordance with the company's progressive discipline practice, and
(c) The antiunion animus of supervisor Patterson.

Answer to Question 2

According to the company, Mr. Santillo was fired for leaving keys in the bus and taking unauthorized breaks.
