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.
