Thanks Raul. Do software companies commonly use "at will" contracts? What types of contracts do people see regularly?
Also, a quick peak on Google shows NO software specific unions but there is iww.org/
I agree we need more discussion.
Well, it really depends on the country. Here in Portugal, it's not possible to use "at will" contracts because the law doesn't allow it. I did have one of those while working at Google in New York City but it was my only experience with such a thing - and quite frankly, it was scary. Other than that, I've always had "safe" contracts.
IWW seems interesting. I might actually look into joining or even opening a branch here in Portugal.
