    No they are not Barry they are self interest groups that protect their members rights and earning powers, often even being their own "police, judge and jury" and accreditation body. The other things you mention are roles they carved out for themselves over the course of many years, operating closed shops through their right to award accreditation, maintaining wage rates through competitive exam pass levels etc. etc. Oh and I can guarantee if they were subject to the attacks on their industry/livelihood they too would withdraw their labour/services either through direct action or indirect action (i.e. by leaving the industry or the country)
