Dual information

edit

The section "Arrest and trial" contains dual information. The content of the first two pharagraphs is repeated in the last one.

Another thing: Is "the Cannery and Agricultural Workers’ International Union (CAWIU)" mentioned in the lead the same organization as the United Cannery, Agricultural, Packing, and Allied Workers of America? --Sir48 (talk) 10:32, 19 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

the answer is the second question is -- no, two separate organizations. I was wondering the same thing, so I looked it up. According to The Encyclopedia of Strikes in American History, by Aaron Brenner, Benjamin Day, Immanuel Ness, page 444-445, the CAWIU was most active between 1930 and 1933, after which it was effectively suppressed by prosecution under criminal syndicalism laws. The UCAPAWA formed in 1938 and can be seen as a successor organization, with some of the same leadership, for instance Luisa Moreno. --Lockley (talk) 19:22, 24 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

What about Pat Chambers?

edit

There is a Pat Chambers who organized with her in the Cannery and Agricultural Workers Industrial Union strikes of the 1930s, for whom there does not seem to be an independent page. Could something be put in about him?Singing Coyote (talk) 23:19, 25 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
