To be honest, I could not be bothered trying to work out what he was saying.
I'm too bloody old to be wasting my time on such inconsequential rubbish.

One is never too old to waste one's time.
The way I interpret what he wrote is that in any labour/management dispute, or in any discussion of why British industry is, more or less, no more, it is wrong to blame only one side for the dispute, or for the loss of viable industries which provide well-paid, secure employment for the working class. Bashing the unions often obscures the fact that management needs a good swift kick in the plums too. From one set of prejudices, one blames unions for their greed and intransigence; and from another set, one blames management for their greed and intransigence.
But this is only an interpretation. His argument is a tad cluttered, but hardly "twaddle", or "inconsequential rubbish."
