How do labour unions and strikes work in the PRC? (lemmygrad.ml)

Title, basically. As I understand it all unions need to be affiliated with the ACFTU, but I have no real idea what this means or what it entails. I also understand the right to strike was removed from the constitution in 1982, but again, I am not sure what exactly this means since I've seen there have been many strikes since then.

This is what it says in Baidu:

The 1975 and 1978 constitutions of the People's Republic of China stipulated that citizens have the right to freedom of strike, but the 1982 Constitution of the People's Republic of China completely abolished this provision.

The current regulations of the People's Republic of China are, " Trade Union Law of the People's Republic of China ": In the event of work suspension or slowdown in an enterprise , the labor union shall, together with the enterprise's administration or relevant parties, negotiate and resolve the reasonable demands raised by employees and restore normal production order as soon as possible. .

When work stoppages or slowdowns occur in enterprises or institutions, the trade union shall negotiate with the enterprises, institutions or relevant parties on behalf of the employees, reflect the opinions and demands of the employees, and propose solutions. > Enterprises and institutions should resolve the reasonable demands of employees. Trade unions assist enterprises and institutions to do their jobs well and restore production and work order as soon as possible.

Over the years, strikes in enterprises have all been resolved in accordance with the Trade Union Law of the People's Republic of China.

On the other hand, the abolishment of the right to strike is quite right-deviationist but this was Deng's China, yk, they had to get some business to develop and adapt their economy, after the Cultural Revolution...

On the other hand, their compensating remedy is more understandable... if you consider that China is at least still partially socialist... for example, in its commanding heights of its own resources...
