No, don't talk to their boss. They aren't on your side. Talk to your boss. Any good boss will be an advocate for their team. I've often taken things up the ladder saying, "I know others feel the same way, but I'm not going to say names because I don't want to out them if they aren't comfortable saying it themselves."
Anyway, being diplomatic is pretty important if you don't want to be labeled a squeaky wheel.
