Detroit union lawyer didn't answer key questions, bankruptcy judge says | Crain's Detroit Business:"The judge in Detroit's bankruptcy told the top lawyer for the United Auto Workers that he failed to answer the two most important questions he was asked in a trial on whether the city can remain under court protection.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes today repeatedly tried to force the general counsel for the UAW, Michael Nicholson, to say whether the union had negotiated with the city over proposed cuts to pension benefits and health-care benefits for retirees.
"I want to tell you, sir, this question and the last question were probably the two most important questions you were asked here today," Rhodes told Nicholson, a union witness.
When Nicholson began answering by accusing Detroit's emergency manager, Kevyn Orr, of ignoring UAW proposals, Rhodes interrupted him.
"You are not answering the question," the judge said."
