Demonstrators from a union dispute in Longview blocked a grain train in Vancouver, Washington this morning. Gus Malonas with Burlington Northern says 200 people were on the tracks. The Longshoremen's Union is protesting the port of Longview, because another union was selected to run the grain elevator terminal.
A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order last week to limit the Longshore Union's activity, after federal officials alleged the protesters engaged in death threats and assaults.
