Abstract :
While the professional provisions of the Taft-Hartley Act have aided considerably in protecting the professional status of employed engineers, in certain instances continuing pressure has been brought to bear on them to seek their economic advancement through unionization rather than through professional means. One of the problems confronting the engineer employee has been the lack of a clear-cut statement regarding his professional responsibilities in relation to union affiliation. The National Society of Professional Engineers, believing that a definite statement of principles on this question would be desirable, formulated such a statement which was adopted by the Board of Directors of that society in June 1950.
