No Congress does not have the power to appoint the Commander in Chief. The Commander in Chief is the President and US citizens have the power to elect the President.

The President has the power to pardon people from federal crimes. He also nominates judges for federal courts, including the Supreme Court. These nominations have to be ratified by the US Senate in order to take effect. (Federal courts belong to the judicial department which is independent of the President.)
The President appoints federal judges, including Supreme Court justices, with the advice and consent of the Senate. That means the Senate must approve the President's nomination by a simple majority vote before the appointment process can be completed.
In a word no. The president only has the power to hire and fire high ranking federal workers and none of these people are union workers. In fact, most federal workers are not allowed to unionize, but they are protected from unfair labor practices under the civil service laws.
