The attorney for ILWU President Robert McEllrath on Monday said the Cowlitz County Prosecutor’s Office has not informed him whether his client will be put on trial again.
McEllrath was accused of standing on tracks with other members and supporters of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union to prevent a train from entering the EGT grain terminal during last year’s labor dispute.
District Court Judge Ed Putka declared a mistrial shortly before 11 p.m. Friday after the three-man, three-woman jury could not reach a unanimous decision.
