The article considers three potential processes involving the political action or inaction of West Indian and Asian immigrant workers in Britain. Drawing upon both documentary sources and the authors own research it argues that political organization across ethnic minority lines is neither a current reality nor a short-term possibility. In contrast, while members of ethnic minorities engage in class-based forms of political action, they sometimes organize along distinct ethnic lines due to the racial exclusion of white British workers in the industrial sphere. Furthermore, it is likely that such action will be used to bring pressure to bear on the formal sphere of politics when accommodation of ethnic interests is inadequate or fails to occur
