ABSTRACT

As government has grown at all levels, interest groups increase their activities. The developments that recently occurred promote the power of traditional interest groups and presents obstacles to their lobbying activity. The groups actively pursue its goals using four basic techniques: presentation of information, social lobbying, campaigning and grassroots lobbying. Supporters of corporate financing of politics argue that it is a healthy development that brings some balance between corporate and labor political activities. Certainly the decline of organized labor greatly assisted business in its rise in power, but other forces were operating to enhance its position. Organized labor has continued its gradual, decades-long slide from political and economic power. People examines that the core stronghold of organized labor in the United States-manufacturing jobs-the trends of the late 1980s offer little hope to labor union leaders. However, people say that the labor's power in the Democratic Party organization is much stronger than its power in the Democratic Party in Congress.
