[M]Donny Fagnano[/M], 56, who has [M]worked at Walmart[/M] for more than 21 years, said he cried when a manager at the store in Lewisburg, [M]Pennsylvania[/M], called him into the office last week and told him his job was going away.

Greg Foran, president and CEO of Walmart U.S., sent a memo to all store managers Thursday outlining the transition and how "each case requires a thoughtful solution."
Customer hosts still greet customers but have added and more physically demanding responsibilities than greeters, which have been part of the company since the early 1980s. Some of the greeters are disabled, but the exact number wasn't available.
"As can sometimes happen, this change has created some conversation both externally and internally, specifically where associates with disabilities are concerned," Foran wrote in the two-page memo.
Stores started telling affected workers their jobs could be in jeopardy more than a week ago. There is usually a 60-day window for affected workers to apply for other roles in the company while continuing in their current job.
Willing and able:Disabled workers prove their value in tight labor market

However, for associates with disabilities impacted by the changes, Foran said, the company has "extended the current 60-day transition period while we explore the circumstances and potential accommodations that will make sense for each person."
Since the change was announced, Foran said, Walmart has made offers to a number of the greeters, including those with physical disabilities.
"We expect this will continue to be the case for many more across the country over the coming weeks," he said.
Jay Melton, who has worked as a greeter at a Walmart in Marion, North Carolina, is one of the affected employees. An online petition was started to keep Melton, who has cerebral palsy and can’t walk without assistance, at the store.

However, for associates with disabilities impacted by the changes, Foran said, the company has "extended the current 60-day transition period while we explore the circumstances and potential accommodations that will make sense for each person."
Since the change was announced, Foran said, Walmart has made offers to a number of the greeters, including those with physical disabilities.
"We expect this will continue to be the case for many more across the country over the coming weeks," he said.
Jay Melton, who has worked as a greeter at a Walmart in Marion, North Carolina, is one of the affected employees. An online petition was started to keep Melton, who has cerebral palsy and can’t walk without assistance, at the store.

Walmart told greeters around the country last week that their positions would be eliminated on April 26 in favor of an expanded, more physically demanding “customer host” role. To qualify, they will need to be able to lift 25-pound (11-kilogram) packages, climb ladders and stand for long periods.
That came as a heavy blow to greeters with cerebral palsy, spina bifida and other physical disabilities. For them, a job at Walmart has provided needed income, served as a source of pride and offered a connection to the community.
Now Walmart, America’s largest private employer, is facing a backlash as customers rally around some of the chain’s most highly visible employees.
Walmart says it is striving to place greeters in other jobs at the company, but workers with disabilities are worried.
Donny Fagnano, 56, who has worked at Walmart for more than 21 years, said he cried when a manager at the store in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, called him into the office last week and told him his job was going away.
“I like working,” he said. “It’s better than sitting at home.”

Walmart told greeters around the country last week that their positions would be eliminated on April 26 in favor of an expanded, more physically demanding “customer host” role. To qualify, they will need to be able to lift 25-pound (11-kilogram) packages, climb ladders and stand for long periods.
That came as a heavy blow to greeters with cerebral palsy, spina bifida and other physical disabilities. For them, a job at Walmart has provided needed income, served as a source of pride and offered a connection to the community.
Now Walmart, America’s largest private employer, is facing a backlash as customers rally around some of the chain’s most highly visible employees.
Walmart says it is striving to place greeters in other jobs at the company, but workers with disabilities are worried.
Donny Fagnano, 56, who has worked at Walmart for more than 21 years, said he cried when a manager at the store in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, called him into the office last week and told him his job was going away.
“I like working,” he said. “It’s better than sitting at home.”

A COMPUTER game where players fire tennis balls at former FAI CEO John Delaney's head has gone viral.
The hit mini-game was launched by computer whizz Simon Darcy in the aftermath of Ireland's win over Georgia which featured a protest where fans threw tennis balls on the pitch during the match.

The software specialist claimed the game has already been played over a million times in less than 24 hours
He told the Irish Star: "My phone was hopping all day with people texting me about the game.
"From using Google Analytics I know that the website I have the game on has been accessed up to 100,000 times so it's likely that the game has been played millions of times.
"If I knew it was going to be so popular I would have added more levels to it."
TENNIS BALL PROBE
UEFA yesterday confirmed they would be investigating Irish fans' tennis ball protest during the Euro 2020 qualifier on Tuesday.
When the game reached the 33rd minute the balls began to rain down on the pitch as a protest against John Delaney and the FAI.
Delaney has come under mounting pressure since it was revealed he paid a €100,000 "bridging" loan to the FAI in 2017.
Following Ireland's 1-0 win against Gibraltar last Saturday, Delaney announced he would be leaving his chief executive role to take up a new executive vice president position.
Today the Irish Sun revealed the FAI returned with the begging bowl and requested an early drawdown of its funding from Sport Ireland in 2019.
The Irish Sun revealed in January that between 2015 and 2018 John Delaney sought early access to millions of euro of State funding that hadn’t been approved yet.

A COMPUTER game where players fire tennis balls at former FAI CEO John Delaney's head has gone viral.
The hit mini-game was launched by computer whizz Simon Darcy in the aftermath of Ireland's win over Georgia which featured a protest where fans threw tennis balls on the pitch during the match.

The software specialist claimed the game has already been played over a million times in less than 24 hours
He told the Irish Star: "My phone was hopping all day with people texting me about the game.
"From using Google Analytics I know that the website I have the game on has been accessed up to 100,000 times so it's likely that the game has been played millions of times.
"If I knew it was going to be so popular I would have added more levels to it."

UEFA yesterday confirmed they would be investigating Irish fans' tennis ball protest during the Euro 2020 qualifier on Tuesday.
When the game reached the 33rd minute the balls began to rain down on the pitch as a protest against John Delaney and the FAI.
Delaney has come under mounting pressure since it was revealed he paid a €100,000 "bridging" loan to the FAI in 2017.
Following Ireland's 1-0 win against Gibraltar last Saturday, Delaney announced he would be leaving his chief executive role to take up a new executive vice president position.
Today the Irish Sun revealed the FAI returned with the begging bowl and requested an early drawdown of its funding from Sport Ireland in 2019.
The Irish Sun revealed in January that between 2015 and 2018 John Delaney sought early access to millions of euro of State funding that hadn’t been approved yet.
