Hull was a leading figure in political, paramilitary and trade union circles during the early years of the Troubles. He is most remembered for being the leader of the Loyalist Association of Workers, a loyalist trade union-styled movement that briefly enjoyed a mass membership before fading.
==Early years==
A native of Belfast, Hull came from the Shankill Road, a staunchly loyalist and working class area in the west of the city.〔Jim Cusack & Henry McDonald, ''UVF'', Poolbeg, 1997, p. 107〕 Hull was well known for his heavy build, and he was said to weigh as much as twenty stone.〔 He was a member of the Orange Order.〔Tim Pat Coogan, ''The Troubles'', Hutchinson, 1995, p. 140〕
Hull worked at the Harland and Wolff engine shop in Belfast, and became the convenor of shop stewards there.〔 A supporter of working class and trade union politics Hull became a member of the Northern Ireland Labour Party in 1948. He maintained his membership of the party until the early 1970s when he resigned in protest at the Northern Ireland policy of the Harold Wilson government and the British Labour Party.〔
