Josh Peak

Secretary

Josh Peak has been Secretary of the SDA since 2019 and has driven campaigns for fair retail trading hours in South Australia, new public holidays in the the Northern Terittory, stronger protections against customer abuse and free parking in SA.

Josh started out in retail working at Foodland when he was 15 where his employer forced him to sign an AWA. He joined the SDA to campaign against the WorkChoices laws that stripped workers of their right.

He started working at the SDA in 2008 as an Organiser, working to grow the union and help members to resolve workplace issues.

Josh served on the ACTU Executive from 2009-2015 and is a current member of the ALP National Executive.

Jordan Mumford

Assistant Secretary

Jordan Mumford joined the SDA when he got his first job at McDonald’s when he was 14 years old. Jordan then worked at Coles in the deli for six years.

Jordan knows first-hand the experiences of retail and fast-food workers and he is committed to fighting to improve their working lives.

Working at West Lakes, he supported the SDA’s campaign against the imposition of paid parking – a campaign the SDA later won.

As an SDA Official for seven years Jordan has represented workers on the shopfloor, worked in Organising and Campaigns to uncover wage theft, improve public holidays rights and introduce stronger laws to protect workers from abuse and assault.

As the SDA Chief of Staff, he played an integral role in modernising our services and leading the Organising efforts to deliver new enterprise agreements to hundreds of thousands and workers.

Jordan is a current member of the ACTU Executive and is passionate about improving workers’ safety along with advancing the rights of young workers.
