What are some precedents to this - specifically democracy?

I can think of union busting to protect national security / economy ... (air traffic controllers...) ... COVID shutdowns to protect health.

I'm not an expert, but I believe the original "trusts" that spurred antitrust laws were so powerful that they were able to significantly influence government. As I understand it, this was (one of?) the motivation(s) for antitrust legislation.
