This is how vulture capitalism works. You take a company with assets you leverage it to the hilt. Get concessions from workers even if they aren't that much. Keep squeezing all the short term profit you can out of the company and when it's done you bankrupt it and sell off all the assets. No matter what these employees did the end goal would have been the same. Vulture capitalism is all about about short term profit. This is exactly what Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich were talking about.
