So the argument against forming a new political party is that there are political parties that do things you disagree with?

I think the argument is that a union is more like a party in a winner-take-all system than a party in a multiparty system.

The alternative is the employer winning in a two party system.

Maybe. Or maybe that's a false choice. Honestly I'm generally unconvinced by "it's us or them" arguments.
