The company – which reportedly has debts totalling $10 billion – was declared
bankrupt by creditors last week after Daewoo`s labour union rejected management
restructuring plans which would have resulted in the company shedding 18 per
cent of its 18,000 workforce.
The auto-maker filed for receivership at a district court in Inchon on Friday
(10/11/00).
