I would also be wondering about Switzerland, which has some of the most liberal employment laws in Europe. Even though, an employer can't really do as she pleases. Some of the statutes are changeable, some are not. And some are only changeable to the advantage of the employee. For example: Minimum annual vacation is 4 weeks, which can be changed to 5 weeks, but not shortened to less than 4 weeks. An American company (with a local subsidiary) arguing that you're not an employee, even though it controls all aspects of your work, and any dispute should be arbitrated in Dellaware would be laughed straight of court.
