The Highliner

Commercial fishing is a bedrock industry in Alaska, and has been for more than a century. Every year scores of fishermen net millions of migrating salmon, challenge the icy Bering Sea to trap king crabs, lay miles and miles of baited hooks for halibut, and scoop up enough pollock for a zillion fish sticks. And when fishermen aren't out fishing, they're usually talking about fishing. That's what this blog by Wesley Loy has been all about for the two years he has written it.

Wrangell deal back on?

Posted by The Highliner

Looks like Trident Seafoods Corp. has resumed its pursuit of the troubled Wrangell Seafoods Inc. processing plant.

How do I know?

Because a bunch of lawyers were to convene at 9 a.m. today in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Anchorage to consider this amended order approving a $4.35 million sale to Trident.

The order is marked to show changes from the original. The big difference, as far as I can tell, is some tweaking of labor union language that had chilled Trident off the deal (The Highliner, March 24).

Significantly, the order now states:

“For avoidance of doubt, no collective bargaining agreements between the Debtor and any union or labor organization are being assumed and assigned by the Debtor to the Buyer.”
