If business is abandoning control of the city, organized labor is one of the strongest contenders to take its place. An analysis of organizational participation and decision-making roles as revealed by both community and labor influentials in an industrial city reveals no change in the pattern of business domination since World War II. Both sets of influentials agreed on the main outlines of the local power structure and their relative position in it. Political pluralism represents an ideal which neither group feels exists locally. The inability of labor to develop a separate ideology or community program forces it to support the traditional order of business control as legitimate. (Author's abstract courtesy EBSCO.)
