human resources discussions

This is two parts and each part/discussion  needs to be lengthy in answer. No plargism.

Discussion #1

If the labor laws were repealed and labor unions made illegal, how might this affect the terms and conditions of employment for employees? Please use a reference.

[or, as alternative to No. 1. "Identify an important movement or event in labor history and explain how the movement or event has impacted the modern day practice of HR."]

Discussion #2

Is the selection process for determining members of the National Labor Relations Board too politicized? Explain your response. Does the current selection process lead to instability in interpretations of the LMRA and if so, is this a positive or negative for employers and employees covered by the law? Explain your response and use a reference.
