[edit] Job security

Nominated on 17:25, 19 July 2005 (UTC); needs 10 votes by August 2.

Important concept involving jobs. Considering the recession that started after the dot com boom, this would be an important topic to people in computer fields. Furtherman, a history of job securtiy can date back ot pre World War II where the Great Depression left many jobless on the streets. Therefore, because of the broadness that could be done with this topic, I nominated it for COTW.

  • It is important that this is not treated mainly as the opposite of unemployment. Equally important is that it is not written from a specific U.S. perspective. However, there is great potential for the article. For example, contributors from different parts of the world can compare how layoffs are regulated by legislation and collective agreements. / Alarm 21:46, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
    • That is a very good point that I did not think about with this article. I just heard on CNN that Egypt has a high unemployment rate of 25%. I wounder what the job security is like there. Also, I know in France, if you have to fire someone, you actually have to take them to court inorder to fire them. I'll deffinetly make an adjustment on the article to anticipate for other nations besides the U.S. --ZeWrestler Talk 12:55, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
