It's not greed, it's gettig a fair shake in this deal.
The bond holders have the most invested and want a larger chunk of GM than the govt or UAW.
They have said they WOULD GO ALONG with a deal that gives them 58% of GM with the UAW at 41%. They would probably compromise in the upper 40% range.
The Feds, however, have told GM they will not let the bond holders, the biggest investors, hold more than 10% of GM , just about forcing a bankruptsy. This is what is REALLY complicating the efforts.
This is what happens when we have Soviet style control of industry!
