Save at such time as her restrictions changed so that the work availability issue could be reviewed. The requirements of the cashier position at Pick'N Save necessitate that the cashier work standing. Save had attempted to provide Reinke with sit-down work by providing her work sorting coupons, which could be done sitting down, but this work ceased to be available because changes took place by which coupons were handled electronically and they therefore no longer needed to be sorted. Reinke also filed a grievance challenging her layoff, and following a meeting between Reinke, her union representatives, and Pick'N Save representatives, an agreement was reached to put Reinke back to work as a cashier on Register 21, an express lane where she checked out mainly cigarettes, six- packs of soda, and other small items, and to allow her to sit on a stool while working. Reinke returned to work on June 8, 1997.
