Things we have learned about @Sflecce@twitter.com and his war against @CUPEOntario@twitter.com from the #OLRB hearings:
1. Lecce acknowledged he lied about educator workers seeking a 50% wage increase - surprise #leccelies
2. The legislation to invoke the NWS clause was drafted well in advance of job

From some of the comments from the Chair of the #OLRB as quoted in this article, the union may be concerned that he's leaning towards declaring the #protest an unlawful #strike under the #Ontario #Labour Relations Act #notwithstanding the fact that the collective agreement was imposed by legislation and not negotiation and arguments that this is a political protest.

The hearing resumes at 7 am today.
