All economies are planned in some way. That's just human history. Once you get to a certain level of large scale organization it's impossible to avoid some level of centralization.
But not to the level where bureaucrats pick wages. That way lies poverty and strife.
Then they shouldn't pick rules on who gets the right to strike either.
Who does that? In the US only government employees and "essential" services don't have the right to strike.
That's the deal when you work for the government, and you know it going in.
