Chief restructuring officer or USSC, Bill Aziz, said in an affidavit that progress has been made in talks with workers and creditor but more time is needed. Although the date of September 11 is being filed, USSC is expecting to extend the period beyond September, 2015.
No word yet on whether the court will release the “secret deal” made between the government of Canada and US Steel. Superior Court Justice Herman Wilton-Siegel and reserved judgment and is expected to reach a decision sometime this week.
