Jack Richard Boddy (23 August 1922 – 9 March 2004) was a British trade union leader.
He also became active in the National Union of Agricultural and Allied Workers (NUAAW), and in 1943 he was promoted to become farm supervisor.
In 1960, he moved to become the Norfolk district organiser, serving until 1978, when he was elected as the union's general secretary, defeating Arthur Leary, Len Pike and Jim Watts in a keenly-fought contest.
However, these measures were insufficient, and he negotiated a merger with the Transport and General Workers' Union; although this was highly controversial, it was ultimately approved by members, with a landslide majority.
[1] During this period, Boddy was also active in local politics, representing the Labour Party on Norfolk County Council.
