The commenter, as a response to the above-mentioned article (ibid., vol.6, no.3, Sept.1987, p.17-21), briefly examines the problems of taking and supporting ethical instances in the workplace, and proposed a possible partial solution. He notes that the pressure not to become a so-called whistle-blower comes from both the employer (and possibly from the customers or other outside sources) and from the other employers who have not taken an ethical stance. As a possible protective mechanism, he suggests that professional societies could set up ethical indemnity insurance schemes, based on members' contributions, to indemnify their members for monetary losses incurred in the course of ethical fulfillment of their positions.<
