And what happens when the workers cartel becomes middle-management? Seems to me any coherent workers movement at all will have to have a goal of subordinating capital in the market to labor.

You can discard the word movement and substitute it for any you like that’s not really the important part there. And by middle-management I generally mean the landscape of how unions function today in the era of post fordism where they are essentially just middle negotiators -

- between labor and capital, arguably institutionalized in the management of firms.

GOB? Not familiar with that acronym. And personally I don’t think many Marxist today would necessarily disagree with you on this especially on unions. My favorite, Fredric Jameson, has based a large deal of his project around fleshing out the failures of unions in the US.
