Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) Chairman G. K. Butterfield (NC-01) released the following statement on the passing of Mr. Robert McGlotten:

“Members of the CBC were saddened to hear of the passing of Robert McGlotten.  He was a champion of labor rights serving in multiple capacities for 28 years with the American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO).  As AFL-CIO’s Legislative Director, Mr. McGlotten led a team that brought American labor issues to the forefront of the United States Congress.  Over the course of his career he was instrumental in developing field operations in 50 cities and 30 states with the core mission of seeking to increase union involvement in employment programs.  The CBC offers our thoughts and prayers to his family during this difficult time.”
