Just so far it seems more of a fine we will just take all the balls and send you home with nothing rather than we are in a no win situation and we are all going to bare the costs of this together type of thing.

Yep, on the one hand a company can't just keep losing money hand over fist and stay in business just to keep paychecks coming from loans.

On the other hand, you can only punish your employees for so long and so hard before they force your hand. Going on strike and closing down the company because of it has always been the last resort of the working man. And sometimes just making sure the executives have a few less yachts before they declare bankruptcy anyway is at least a small victory.

I'd like to think that the employed and the employer will always work for a win-win situation in which CEO's and janitor's all end up doing pretty well for themselves. But too often those at the top just want to make sure they get as much of the tasty individually wrapped pies as possible before shutting the whole thing down.
