The downside being that if the company fails, any creditors could come after your personal assets to settle any debt.

Correct, if the employee does not agree to any new contract, they do not have to accept it.
However, the employer may then decide to dispense with the employees services and bring someone in that will agree to the terms of the new contract.
In times of high unemployment this is effectively a hobson's choice for the employee.
