I don't exactly know what the laws are regarding this sort of thing, but if a company feels that a person has a disability that will interfere with their ability to do a job or show up for work and its reasonably founded then I think they can.

What companies make walmart MainStay furniture?

My guess would be Courtyard Creations. I purchased a lounger from walmart a couple years ago that was sold under that company name, and the same lounger is now being sold under Mainstay brand. Courtyard Creations has no BBB accreditation, is rated "F" by BBB, and has numerous complaints online and indications of multiple lawsuits against them. If you dig deep enough, you find the two company names/products merging in many places. My belief is that due to all their legal problems they restructured and changed the company name to stay in business. Good luck contacting anyone with the company. It is liking chasing ghosts.

Can an employer discriminate against a health safety representative?

In the US there are still some grounds on which an employer is permitted to discriminate. Among them is "not doing a good job" and "misuse of company resources." Being a health and safety representative does not insulate you from the consequences of poor performance, etc. However, an employer is not permitted to discriminate against any employee for raising reasonable concerns about health and safety in the workplace, and a health and safety representative would be expected to do that, perhaps more than other employees.
