Hostess was a decent example of that. Hostess was a prime example of management making a slew of terrible decisions and then trying to foist the results of their failure on to the workers while giving themselves fat bonuses. Towards the end the deal they were offered was so shit that they didn't care that striking made the company go under. And why should they? If the company goes under they just go and get another job. The private equity firm that got in on that deal with a view to union busting for profit got everything it deserved when they lost their money.
