Madison County School Superintendent Bob Daiber (DIE-bur) says he is the man to support labor if he is elected governor. Daiber made campaign stops in Springfield and Wood River Monday to address what he calls a "pro-labor agenda" to preserve prevailing wage in the state of Illinois, and to express his support for collective bargaining agreements.
The perceived front-runner for the Democratic nomination is Chicago businessman J.B. Pritzker, but Daiber says that may not be the reality.
Daiber was a public school teacher for 28 years before he became the head of the Madison County Schools in 2007.
