Data were drawn from the Comparative Project on Class Consciousness and Class Conflict. Findings revealed that class divisions were considerably more important in political party affiliations in Britain than in the U.S. In addition, it was revealed that although class was not of great political salience in the U.S., it had a strong impact in industrial relations and in the workplace.
