The employees will be hurt if the firm disappears. Therefore both have responsibility for both.
I've heard of employers attacking the conditions of their workforce, these workers resisting, and the employer winding the company up and moving on (often having pocketed public funds in the process). But that's not the same thing.
I've never heard of a union pursuing an unreasonable claim resulting in a company going bust.
