In communist countries, labor unions are controlled by the party and serve the interests of the state, not the workers. Strikes are illegal and any pretense of collective bargaining is a farce.

If you were in a communist country you are definitely worried about the power asymmetry, and rushing to go to West Germany or just out of the USSR, or to the USA from Cuba or out of pre-capitalist China if you could.
I should have gone with "socialist" to avoid all you "ackchually" people who try to educate me on the evils of Soviet Communism while the discourse in the USA is that anything slightly to the left of Pinochet is "COMMUNISM"
