Northwest Law Firms Denied Millions of Dollars In Extra Bankruptcy Fees - 09/12/07

By Doug Cunningham

A bankruptcy judge Tuesday agreed with the Association of Flight Attendants, CWA and denied millions of dollars in extra fees to law firms that represented Northwest airlines in its bankruptcy. Two more requests for extra fees will be heard later. The union had argued that if the company has extra millions laying around, they should go to the workers, who had to endure deep pay and benefits cuts in the bankruptcy.
