"Pei Wei has rarely terminated employees for not showing up and not calling in alerting the company to their absence," the union e-mail said.

Elizabeth Serafin, a fired employee who had worked at the restaurant for about eight months, said the week before she was fired, a male Hispanic cook didn't call and didn't show up, but he wasn't fired. He was reprimanded and forced to take a week off without pay, she said.

"Why did they give him the opportunity but not to us?" she said.
Does not seem to be much argument that they just did not show up.
