“Bob Daiber will restore integrity and competence to Madison County government,” stated Joe Eble, SWICLC Executive Recording Secretary. “We are proud to support his candidacy and look forward to helping him put county government back into the hands of working people.”

“I am honored to receive the endorsement of the Southwestern Illinois Central Labor Council,” said Bob Daiber. “This endorsement demonstrates my continued commitment to collective bargaining rights and the fair treatment of working men and women.”

“We continue to build a broad based, grassroots coalition in this campaign,” continued Daiber. “With the help of organizations such as the Southwestern Illinois Central Labor Council, we will restore integrity to Madison County government and eliminate the corrupt practices that have plagued it in recent years.”

This is the second major labor endorsement Bob Daiber has received in his campaign for Madison County Board Chairman. Earlier this Spring, Daiber was endorsed by the 12th District COPE AFL-CIO.
