[No title] Grainger was not a party to the contract between Rentar and the Union, nor did the Union ever indicate to Rentar or to Grainger that Grainger should become involved in Rentar- union negotiations.

W. they were facing the loss of their jobs with Rentar, and obviously the drivers recognized they were being given an opportunity by TDI to become employed if a rider could be negotiated, which made it economically feasible for TDI to obtain the Grainger business. www.nlrb.gov /nlrb/shared_files/decisions/286/286-94.txt   (13936 words)

GRAINGER, INC.(2001) * U.S.11th Grainger is an industrial commercial supply company that distributes maintenance, repair, and operating products from warehouses that it operates throughout the United States. Grainger had created the Bins Sorter position by identifying certain duties from existing jobs at the Distribution Center, and combining those duties into a job that Grainger felt Lucas could perform given his work restrictions. But Grainger's characterization of the positions simply acknowledges that they were "reasonably available" in the sense that there was a vacancy in each one, and it does not speak to the issue of whether a promotion of Lucas to any of those three positions was an accommodation Grainger was required to provide under the ADA. www.claimrep.com /laws/cases/Us11/caseUs11Lucas.htm   (4854 words)
