Douglas Lindsay, national representative of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, said in an interview the board of education employees--mem- bers of Local 218, CUPE--could legally strike tomorrow. But he said the local's four- member bargaining committee met briefly this morning to con- sider the conciliation report of Judge H. C.
