I’m aware that there will be layoffs restructuring, lowering the headcount, but could we also be facing outsourcing of some segments of the company within the restructure required by Ch 11? Is that even allowed in this position?

I feel a little confused. I reach my pension in a couple of months, and the fact is that that time will come while the company is still in the bankruptcy proceedings. What rules apply in that situation?
