It's hard to bleed a company dry if you are insisting that they pump in ever more blood. If a company dies your shares become worthless.

In a properly-diversified investment portfolio, the loss of any single company has minuscule impact. For workers, the loss of the company is much more devastating - suddenly left without salary and health insurance, faced with the prospect of having to uproot or retrain to find further employment, knowing that the hard work of a big chunk of their only life has gone up in smoke. Workers want the company to succeed.

But that same argument applies to unions, too. If your company dies, you're out of a job. Why would a union do that?
