As a union member in AN, l do not recall being asked about which of the big five (now four) would become administrator.

I suspect Arthur Anderson and the unions were in cahoots on a deal that would kick out Price Waterhouse.
This was too big an opportunity to let go.
And only with the unions blessing was this going to happen.

Obviously, after Enron and the wind-up, Ernst & Young were bringing in house the Anderson business,
Korda and Mentha were to put up $400k each to be a local partner, whilst bringing $65m over the next few years.
The rest is history.

Makes you wonder how much the union/officials/individuals got for allowing this to happen
