I don’t know for sure, but ... worldwide overcapacity, so lots of competitive pressure, vs. union.

Debtor in possession arrangement has the operation an ongoing concern.

I put that in “poorly managed operation.” Auto companies did the same sort of knuckling under in the 70’s. The fallout from those bad decisions is ongoing.

I have no idea how and why they got so indebted; but clearly seems they were in trouble long before covid.
