David lacks discretion in this situation because he is bound by the policies and rules negotiated by the union, which limit his ability to take punitive action against the subordinate. Despite his personal dislike for the subordinate, if the subordinate is fulfilling all of their job duties and producing excellent work, David cannot legally justify punishing them.
