effectively manage the evolving transportation needs, challenges, and 
opportunities of the global economy. The subcommittee is charged with 
ensuring the availability and quality of a workforce necessary to 
support a robust, expanding commercial aviation industry in light of 
the changing socio-economic dynamics of the world's technologically 
advanced economies. Among other matters, the subcommittee will examine 
certain issues affecting the future employment requirements of the 
aviation industry in order to finalize the proposals for the final 
meeting of the FAAC on December 15, 2010: (1) The need for science, 
technology, engineering, and math skills in the industry; (2) the 
creation of a culture of dignity and respect in the workplace by 
incorporating core workers' human rights conventions into international 
aviation agreements; (3) the creation of a biannual Aviation Industry 
Workforce-Management Summit endorsed and implemented by the Secretary 
of Transportation; and (4) the need to improve labor management 
relations within the aviation industry by increasing resources 
available to the National Mediation Board to help improve the 
collective bargaining process in the airline industry.
