The rule of "just cause" in discipline requires that disciplinary action be taken only when there is just cause for such action. In this case, James was disciplined for missing three deadlines, but another employee who missed many more deadlines did not face any disciplinary action. This suggests that there may not have been just cause for disciplining James.
