There is no conflict. The article, as written, did not cite its sources. I researched the topic briefly; it was not a single strike, but a series of strikes spread out over three months. The largest of these was the cotton pickers' strike. One source clearly says that the cotton strike was the largest California agricultural workers' strike up to that time (emphasis mine). There is no conflict. - Tim1965 (talk) 17:59, 11 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
