Now that Grainger has made significant changes in organization, struture and reporting, I wonder why they are not being openly discussed and reported.
On Lab Safety, Grainger combining supply lines

The content specific to Lab Safety, discussed in the Grainger conference call, was accurately quoted by the Gazette. However, the Gazette did add some editorial type questions to the article that people are now debating. Anyone interested in the future of Lab Safety should listen to the entire conference call for the answers to their questions. Grainger management did a good presenting the information and answering questions asked by financial analysts.
Bottom line is that Grainger is looking to raise sales by $70 - 100 million and reduce costs $20 - 30 million over the next 18 months. And they stated they expect "more to follow." By moving "almost all" Lab offered products o Grainger catalogs, stores and nation-wide distribution centers, they will get a significant sales lift and fulfill customer orders quicker and at a lower cost.
Leveraging Grainger's existing infrastructure (supply chain, HR, Finance, ecommerce and IT) is more cost effective than Lab Safety continuing to maintain their own – separately. It’s simply a necessary business move.

On Children heard Limbaugh during Obama event

Can anyone really believe that a significant number of these grade school students were "shocked, saddened and angered" by commentary made by Rush Limbaugh? I find it disgusting whenever the right/left extremists use the youth of our nation to further their own political agenda!
