So, you would just fire people because they wanted to wear more comfortable shoes, and they sent a letter about it? There are places where shoes/clothing really matters, like a mechanics shop (with their overalls), a construction site (the steel reinforcement of the tip of the shoe), a woodworking shop, where baggy clothing could lead to injury - but that's definitely not the case in the article. These control freaks really annoy me, and I feel lucky to work in IT, most of the places I worked so far would allow you to wear short pants, or whatever.

As said in the comments above they where fired because they did naïvely what unions are doing : mutualizing workers' claims to heir hierarchy and make a front. The article take the thesis of the "youth are worse than before" like Socrates was saying (so old story) The real part of the story is due to experience, the older you are the more likely you are to be a manager or a boss. Hence elder generations will always blame new generations for not knowing their place in this system. And younger person will fall for the trick like their elder, because that what bullying is for: engraving a behavior as a collective norm.
