UAW Lawyer Complains Detroit Wasn't "Flexible" Enough Before Bankruptcy

"Flexibility" is probably how it got into the mess in the first place

The UAW's chief lawyer is portraying the city of Detroit as inflexible in the weeks leading to last summer's bankruptcy filing.

Unions opposed to Detroit's bankruptcy say there was a lack of good-faith negotiations with creditors before the Chapter 9 filing in July. If a judge finds that's true, he could throw out the case.
