Walmart's war on the disabled. What did Trump do to weaken the American with Disabilities Act?

Walmart forgets who many of their customers are. When driving into a Walmart parking lot what becomes very noticeable are a large number of handicapped parking spaces. The handicapped spaces at Walmart are usually full.

Despite several attempts to talk to the management at Walmart, Adam is unemployed.

Adam Catlin, 30, is worried that restrictions from his cerebral palsy will cost him his longtime job at a Selinsgrove Walmart as the store transitions away from the traditional "people greeter" role.

A business decision (click here) by the nation’s largest retailer to revamp the role of the “people greeter” may have the perverse effect of costing a Snyder County man his job.

And for Adam Catlin and the customers he’s welcomed over the last 10 years with a big “hello”, this isn’t any old job in an ever-changing economy. Working the front door at the Walmart in Selinsgrove, Snyder County, has become the occupational sun around which his universe orbits.

You see Adam, age 30, lives with cerebral palsy.

The condition and its complications have left him, according to his family, unable to walk without a walker, lacking in fine motor skills with his hands, and legally blind.

But he can smile and cheer people up like nobody’s business, so the job as a front-of-the-store greeter - which Adam has held since shortly after his graduation from Midd-West High School - has made him a kind of a superstar in this river town about 60 miles north of Harrisburg....

Adam isn't the only American out of work because Walmart hates the disabled. Meet John Combs. This is very hard to accept. In the case of Mr. Combs, he has a dog to support. That dog is vital to Mr. Combs day to day activities. This is outrageous.

This is coming at a time when people have to work to maintain their Food Stamp benefit. I find this entire action by Walmart very suspicious.

John Combs is a "people greeter" at a Walmart in Vancouver, Wash. But he has been told that come April 25, his job is going away. And he is not alone.

If you ask John Combs (click here) what his biggest worry is, he'll say: "How will I feed Red?"

Red is actually white. He's a labradoodle rescue, just tall enough for Combs to pet if he reaches over the armrest of his wheelchair. Combs, 42, has cerebral palsy. He has difficulty speaking. But he has no difficulty saying the line most Americans have heard at least once: "Welcome to Walmart!"

Combs has one of Walmart's trademark front-door jobs: He's a "people greeter" at a store in Vancouver, Wash. But, he was told, come April 25 his job is going away. And he is not alone. According to Walmart, greeters are being removed at about 1,000 stores around the country.

NPR has found that Walmart is changing the job requirements for front-door greeters in a way that appears to disproportionately affect workers with disabilities. Greeters with disabilities in five states told NPR they expect to lose their jobs after April 25 or 26....
