Engineers from a state organization went on strike asking for higher salaries and benefits. They had warned their organization multiple times about striking if their demands were not met. The organization did not address their demands or promises made in discussions. The engineers struck under the trade union act passed by parliament. The court initially held that the engineers must return to work, but the appeal court found that strikers have the right to strike to win demands. As the highest court found their actions legal, the IESL has no grounds to punish the strikers under its code of ethics.

2011 September Question 1

It was reported in the printed media and also in the electronic media that engineers of a social
organization struck work asking for enhance salaries and relevant benefits from the state
organization under which they worked. These engineers had given warning to their organization
in number of times unless their demands are not met with they would strike work. The
organization appears to have been turned deaf year to demand and the promises they have made
in the number of discussions. Those engineers struck works under the profession of the trade
union act which has been passed by majority of members of parliament. Otherwise the action
was under the law of statue (law by state). The IESL is also has been incorporated by law of
statue or resolution passed by majority of members of parliament. The status of chartered
engineer comes under this law of statue.
It is our opinion that these engineers did not have an intention to harm the public by their
trade union action. On the other words, the eight codes of ethics of IESL refer to uphold the
welfare of public at all time. But it does not describe the level of commitment under which
circumstances that particular statement applies. Thus, thee is a weakness in the application of this
statement to common incidents in life, and thus it is a question that
(a) The action of the engineers is a violation of the terms of IESL code of ethics. We thus
believe that the action taken by the engineers with is not the intension of violation the
welfare of public.
At the time of strike, the state institution moved an in junction to prevent to engineers from
strike. The court held that the engineers shall revert to work and leave the strike action. The
union then appealed to the court of appeal against the decision of previous court under profession
of natural justice and appeal court held that strikers reserve the right to strike work to win the
demand.
(b)The IESL reserved no opportunity to punish the strikers under code of ethics since the

high court; the court of appeal had held that their action was not violating the law of the
land. Thus punishment under codes of ethics becomes null and void under the decision of
court of appeal. Thus, no way IESL punish them under the terms of code of ethics. Such
punishments become unenforceable under the preceding of the court of appeal.
