The government at the behest of the unions, created the outlines of a plan where the unions, even though they are junior creditors, would take a smaller hit than the senior creditors, and then it pushed a majority of the creditors to accept that deal.

The agreement gets presented to the bankruptcy court, and forms the basis of the judges decision.


And required approval by a majority of the creditors......not just the unions.
