NOTES 73 • Training—The high rate of technological change in both the product and workplace that characterizes the industry imposes a special requirement that there be mechanisms allowing workers to develop new skills and to share equitably in the fruits of technology. It is believed that resolution of these issues will promote the flexibility and efficiency of the industry, advance its ability to maintain a competitive lead in the incorporation of new technologies, and allocate costs and benefits more fairly across the industry and the economy.
