In a sort of abstract sense, there are some parallels.
In a system like the US, corporations and those with a lot of money hold a lot of power, and unionization is a way for everyone else to take some power for themselves to make sure that their voices are heard.
In a system like China however, most of that power is instead concentrated with the government and upper echelons of party, so attempts at democratizing fill a similar role of giving regular people a voice.
There’s a lot of nitty gritty details, cultural differences, etc. and I don’t really want to gloss over those, but the root in either case is common people organizing and trying to make sure their voices are heard.
Impossible when events like Tienanman Square are the outcome in some countries. It only takes one to upset a global unionization apple cart.
Huh? You think Tiananmen was about unionizing…?
Also it’s Tiananmen

I think it’s actually spelled “天安门广场”

Yes, I am fun at parties, and I will prove it as soon as I get invited to one.
I’m inviting you to the worst party ever tomorrow!
Won’t be the worst 'til I get there!
