The level of sophisticated exhaustive knowledge required is typically only avail in Masters level degree programs. Programs in Labor Rels focus on issues from emplee view programs in HR focus on issues from emplr view. While we are a labor org thus our focus is on emplee issues, we believe indiv wdegree in HR also wld have reqd knowledge.

It is for this reason that we require 4 yrs exp as journalist andor communications writer. As the work is limited to issues affecting labor unions, employee must have extensive experience in those areas. We dont require that all the experience be related to labor union issues as we believe someone wrequired minimum experience will be qualified to handle responsibilities of the position. We explain that experience may have been gained, before, during, or after attaining Masters degree because someone who has requisite knowledge gleaned from required degree at time of hire will be prepared to assume position responsibilities.

This is justified by sr level of position which includes mentorship supervisory duties complex sophisticated nature of the duties for this hiprofile org. As described above, the Masters degree is necessary because performance of duties of position is dependent on exhaustive knowledge in the field which is not provided in Bach programs. We thus believe our requirements for the position are normal for the occupation. In the event, this is found not to be the case, we submit that the job requirements for this position are justified by business necessity as they bear more than a reasonable relationship to duties of the position offered within the context of our business , in the absence of these requirements, an indiv would not be able to execute the job duties.
