True! Intent is hella hard to prove. But termination directly following a labor board complaint, without any previous documentation of issues would be a bad spot for the employer. They're also going to be stepping lightly because they now know you have your shit together and can't be walked all over. They'd find a way to eventually fire you, but not on the spot.
