I don't think there is much 'labour relationship' left in CX, both pilots and crew have been at loggerheads for years.
If they go down the route of fire and rehire, it will make BA look angelic in comparison !!
Labour relationship will be "destroyed" at every surviving airline.
In the recent times when pilots were a scarce ressource dictating their terms, relations were not good.
In the current times when there is a vast oversupply of pilots, relations will not be good either.
