Ethics usually refers to moral philosophy, but it can be used more broadly for any set of principles or virtues. It's similar to how you can explain the "philosophy" behind a decision. Saying someone has a good work ethic basically just means they are disciplined at something. It may not be referring to their actual occupation at all. I think this is more of language naturally evolving than propaganda to exploit the working class further.
