Synopsis Grievant grieved alleged unsafe working conditions and failure to accommodate his disability. Respondent moved to dismiss the grievance asserting mootness as Grievant was no longer an employee. As the grievance only involves conditions of employment, Respondent proved the grievance is now moot. Accordingly, Respondent’s motion to dismiss should be granted, and this grievance, dismissed.
