The union for support staff with the Cape Breton-Victoria Regional School Board plans to hold a rally outside of Sydney Mines Junior High where elected board members will hold their meeting this evening.
CUPE Local 5050 says the information picket is a protest against layoffs for more of its members as well as funding cuts from the province.
The event gets underway at 5:00.
CUPE Nova Scotia president Danny Cavanagh will speak at the rally.
