I believe the link is supposed to be to John Riemann's "The Union Democracy Movement: An Analysis", Nov. 28, 2021, https://oaklandsocialist.com/2021/11/28/the-union-democracy-movement-a n-analysis/.
This is an important article showing how the problem with TDU has existed for a long time, and I'm glad that John has brought this up.. Riemann is not putting this forward as an article explicitly about La Botz. Instead it shows that, contrary to what La Botz put forward in his article this year, the issues with TDU go back a long time. Although it doesn't refer to the particular left groups working within the union democracy movement, I think it shows that the limited perspective of these groups has led to constant disappointment. "Communist Voice" has also written about such issues, going back decades.
