The Pacific Seafood Processors Association really likes this bill.
But the Alaska AFL-CIO doesn't, writing to the committee: "Just because someone works in a seafood processing plant does not mean their right to sick leave should be taken away."
Here's the sponsor statement for SB 268 from Sen. Gary Stevens, R-Kodiak.

PSPA should publish an Obituaries list of all the sick processing plants, and those that have recently died. This is not a new disease in Alaska. The so called "owner state" and their industries have been sick for decades. Can we schedule some more funerals at the Change Point Church, Alaska's former value added, "owner state" fish processing plant in Anchorage? Now that OBI's Cordova plant is on the sick list for 2026, who's going to airlift them to Anchorage for medical care at the Change Point Church? When you think about Alaskan's voting, never wonder why a school teacher from Scranton Pennsylvania is Governor. Sick!
