Rejection of collective bargaining agreement entitled union to engage in self-help but court refused to enforce terms of new, unratified collective bargaining agreement.
Procedural posture

Bankruptcy debtors, an airline and its affiliates, rejected a collective bargaining agreement ("CBA") pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 1113 and implemented the employment terms of their last proposal to a union. The debtors moved for a preliminary injunction prohibiting the union from engaging in economic self-help, and the union moved for an order substituting employment terms set out in a subsequent CBA which was not ratified by union members.
