Timeline

1915

Jack Wayne Hall (February 28, 1915 – January 2, 1971) was an American labor organizer and trade unionist.

He was the Hawaii Regional Director of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union.

Hall was born in Ashland, Wisconsin, on February 28, 1915.

When he was a child, his mother committed suicide.

He was raised in Los Angeles by his grandmother.

1920

Before the drive, most strikes were held by one ethnic group at a time, with the exception of the Oahu sugar strike of 1920, during which Japanese and Filipino plantation workers went on strike together.

The drive ended with the ILWU having contracts with 33 out of 34 sugar plantations, and 30,000 members.

1931

After graduating from Huntington Park High School in 1931, Hall became a merchant seaman and sailed aboard the SS President Hoover.

His experience traveling in Asia and witnessing poverty and the effects of colonialism led him to become a communist.

1934

Hall's first labor strike was the 1934 West Coast waterfront strike as a member of the Sailors Union of the Pacific.

1935

Hall arrived in Hawaii in 1935, where he wrote for a newspaper called The Voice of Labor.

1940

This made the union very successful during strikes in the late 1940s, especially the strike in 1949 that closed Hawaiian ports for six months.

When he could not make changes with labor strikes, Hall worked politically, eventually becoming close with future Governor of Hawaii John Burns.

Hall drafted the Hawaii State Employment Relations Act, which was a Hawaiian version of the Wagner Act.

1944

In 1944 he was named Hawaii's first regional director for the ILWU.

He then led a drive that organized plantation and dock workers as one interracial union.

1945

It was introduced in the Hawaiian Senate by J. B. Fernandez, and passed in 1945.

1951

In August 1951 Hall and 6 other people (later called the Hawaii 7) were accused by Jack Kawano of violating the Smith Act.

They were arrested and investigated by the House Un-American Activities Committee.

Many in the ILWU claimed that the arrest was planned by the Big Five to interfere with the union's negotiations with the sugar companies.

1953

The Hawaii 7 were convicted on June 19, 1953.

Hall was sentenced to 5 years in prison and a $5,000 fine.

The charge was later overturned during an appeal to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Despite this, he remained popular with the workers he unionized, though the union itself lost political influence.

1969

In 1969, Hall was promoted to International Vice President and Director of Organization for the ILWU.

1971

He moved to San Francisco, where he died of a stroke on January 2, 1971.

After his death, flags were flown at half mast.

Members of the ILWU and other unions stopped work for 15 minutes in the first statewide work stoppage in Hawaii's history.

2008

A documentary titled Jack Hall: his life and times was filmed about his life in 2008.

The ILWU building in Honokaʻa was also named after him.
