Could someone help me translate this chinese saying?

I would be much obliged if someone could help me to translate this saying to simplified Chinese!

“Is it necessary for a steel worker to put his name on a steel ingot that he produces in the course of his duty? If not, why should a member of the intelligentsia enjoy the privilege of putting his name on what he produces?”

Johanna, Sweden

钢铁工人是否有必要在他生产的铸模上留下自己的名字?如果没有必要,那么为什么知识分子却享有在自己的作品上署名的专权?

"in the course of his duty" means 他的职责所在

Thank you so much! Is it your own translation or is it one commonly used? Best regards, Johanna

I've looked it up att both Baidu and Google and get no hits! I'm writing an essay and need a note! Does anybody have a link of some kind leading to a website or article containing this saying? Much obliged!

I don't think it's a saying, it sounds like a quote from some party official.

Where did you get it?
