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

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

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

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

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

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.
