Unions are not third-parties Piley, even when workers join an existing union, they're JOINING that union and then as PART of that union negotiating a fair contract. Collectively the employees are union members, and are being represented by their own chosen delegates.
Shit, you rite. I used "third party" as a short hard for an outside organization that doesn't technically own the means of production but that term is woefully unfit to describe the Democratic control workers have over their union. My bad 😪

Not to speak for him at all, but to me, I saw this criticism as more a repudiation of unionism under a liberal democratic framework, and the myriad bureaucracy and status quo appeasement necessary to it. Unionism in its radical roots was not known for these problems at all. In fact, unions can act effectively as a safeguard for worker ownership in cooperatives as they scale in size, so workers always remain at the center of decision making. Unionized cooperatives are basically the best of both worlds.

give workers stability!
no more evictions from primary residences!!
The bozo voting no is the one guy per store who's getting paid to hold the company line.
If this was 50 years ago, you could count on the press to report on it. Not so much, post-Reagan era.
