disagree  Polangmar: Umowy o dzieło i umowy zlecenia nie są nieuczciwe jako takie - "raw deal" byłoby nadinterpretacją.

neutral  Bubz: I don't think this contract is one-sided or dishonest in any way - it is simply not a proper employment contract, therefore it gives no employee privileges to the workers employed on the basis of such contract

Reference: junk contract

Reference information:
"Discussing employment issues, Mleczko said that there is a need to popularize different types of work contracts other than full-time, open-end contracts. He said he regretted the fact that the public tends to refer to other types of employment as “junk contracts”—as if the open-end contract is the only real bargain for the employee. According to Mleczko, a true “junk contract” is one in which either party does not live up to its side of the bargain, and regular employment contracts can fall into this group as well. He said that when it comes to building a flexible workforce in Poland, more employees should come to see that fixed-term work contracts and other forms of employment are just as valid as the full-time, open-end contracts that are now the most popular and desirable among employees. Mleczko said that the ministry will continue to work toward creating more flexible forms of employment in the future."

"As a result, Spanish companies prefer hiring workers on fixed-term contracts. Last year, in fact, a quarter of the Spanish workforce labored away under fixed-term contracts, called simply "junk contracts" by many in Spain"
