Female Operatives Hall – We Are Union

 

Monument:  In development

 

Site: Former Female Operatives Site at Victorian Trades Hall

 

Victoria’s Trades Hall, rising grandly from the northern edge of the Melbourne CBD, is a national treasure and a symbol of the aspirations of the Australian people. For over 150 years the Trades Hall building has given form to dreams of a better life for working people and their families. It is not only the birthplace of organised labour in Australia but also of Victorian Labor and the Australian Council of Trade Unions.
