Yeah because some creed of ethics would have changed that? Did they need a code of ethics to know what they was doing was shady, no. Would that code of ethics be used in a court of law to show that their crime was more egregious had they or the industry adopted it, probably. Will some code of ethics stop management from demanding shady things, and will it stop people from doing it, history says no. So what would be the positive aspect of agreeing to this?
