The objective of filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy vs. Chapter 7, is to become profitable. Creditors have more motivation to work with the debtor and negotiate with a debtor in Chapter 11, since if it were a Chapter 7, generally creditors would not get better terms.
The reorganization plan puts creditors into different classes on how their claims are going to be handled. State and Federal tax agencies are considered first priority and employees owned wages and stockholder interests are each put into their own class.

The plan itself may modify the amounts and terms for repayment of debts to these creditors and must have court approval.
