The cannery closed down in 2009 laying off more than 2,000 workers.
The U.S. Pension Benefit Guarantee Corp. announced last month that an agreement reached with the canning company would result in $3.7 million payment to the retirement fund over the next three years.
The payment exceeds the company’s required plan contribution.
The agreement provoked questions from former employees, and Chicken of the Sea responded over the weekend saying the agreement does not enhance the pension benefits to individual qualified employees.
It said at the time of the shutdown in 2009 all active employees were notified of their potential benefit under the pension plan.
