Trades Hall is the central organising force of the mighty Victorian trade union movement. Under Luke’s leadership, Trades Hall organises campaigns for wage justice, to fix dangerous workplaces, to end workplace discrimination and to fight for a progressive, socially just Victoria.

He has previously worked as a union organiser at the Liquor Hospitality and Miscellaneous Workers Union, now United Voice, working alongside cleaners, security guards, early childhood educators and hospitality workers – some of Australia’s lowest paid workers, who are also overwhelmingly women.
