Very often, if you don't want to be laughed out of your boss's office, you'll need some sort of organized force behind you. Such forces often are labor unions -- often identified with, at the outset anyway, communism.

Labor unions can exist easily in a free market system. If the government helps break labor unions or doesn't allow them to function then you have less of a free market. If the labor union is powerful and effectivly has a monopoly on whatever type of labor it represents then you have the same problem you have with a company that is a monopoly producer but there is nothing inherently communist about labor unions.
