I noticed you were from Turkey -- I've never heard of the phrasing "chamber of engineers", but from Wikipedia, it sounds to be a kind of labor union: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_Chambers_of_Turkish_E...

Turkish chambers of engineers are regulated as trade associations with mandatory membership, not as labor unions. Trade associations in Turkey are semi-governmental whereas unions in Turkey are non-governmental, hence this distinction matters a lot here.
Do unions exist in Turkey or are these trade associations essentially non-legally protected unions?
Unions exist in Turkey, as a separate type of entity. In fact, Turkish unions even participate in the national minimum wage and public service pay coefficient negotiations.
