Advice? Opinions? Guidance?

[Greg Cheng RPT]

I thought breaking the code of ethics was enough to have someone kicked
out.  What is the point of them if you can prove that someone is being
dishonest with customers and not upholding the ethics of the guild.
Dues or no dues you have complaints and proof the person is ripping
people off then they should be gone.  It's a shame because that person
lowers our standing and the guild shouldn't stand for it.

James, 

I wish there was! There's one like that who rips off customer after
customer close to my area. 
But as long as he pays his dues, there's evidently nothing we can do!!!
:-( And unfortunately, 
he advertises himself as a member of PTG. He makes me ashamed to be a
member, quite frankly. 
I can't believe there's nothing that can be done, but I guess there
isn't! He's a real a**hole!

So today I run across an ad in our local "shopper" newspaper which I
repeat here verbatim:
 
"NYS AUTHORIZED PIANO TECHNICIAN: Thorough, precise, honest.  Tuning
$100." followed by the man's name, claim that he has a Masters in Music
and phone number.
 
First, New York State does NOT authorize piano technicians, period.
Does anyone know of a state that does?  But the point is, is there
anything that we, the PTG, can do about this false/misleading
advertising?  Does the national office have a program or policy
statement (yes, I know about OUR ethics but what about others?) Frankly,
it makes us all look bad, (and I'm only an Associate, for now).  Advice?
Opinions? Guidance?
