Many might regard that as abuse of power. That's hardly the basis for a productive working relationship. If my employer treated me like that I'd want to get out, but I'm lucky in that (a) they are genuinely trying to make conditions better for us and (b) I'm not in an industry where seniority is totally lost when moving to a competitor and you pretty much start at the bottom again. Cabin Crew do not have the same options many of us are lucky enough to enjoy.
