EEOC not happy with 'Buffet Holdings' bankruptcy plan: Why?

Factual Questions
1

OK, “Buffet Holdings,” a company that operates various buffet-style restaurants (in my area, they’re the “Ryan’s” restaurants) filed for bankruptcy a year ago.

I saw this blurb that the EEOC is not happy with the reorganization plan because “it wouldn’t allow them to pursue claims against Buffet in California and Kentucky,” without giving any details as to what those claims were about (though, presumably something about “equal employment opportunities).

Anyone with any further information on what these claims were about, and why the reorg plan might complicate things?

Appears Buffets acquired a company calledRyan’s Restaurant Group back in 2006. In 2004, Ryan’s entered into a mediation agreement with the EEOC.

I suspect some terms of the EEOC settlement may have been set aside, or at least the company proposed to set them aside.

Since the article you’re probably reading gives only 2 grafs about the story, it’s hard to tell for certain, and I can’t find anything else with specifics.
