The NSW union movement will officially launch its campaign against what it calls the Baird government's "agenda of mass privatisation" ahead of the March state election.
NSW Premier Mr Baird is taking his plan to lease 49 per cent of the state's electricity distribution network to the March 28 election, claiming it will raise $20 billion to be spent on infrastructure.
The plan is opposed by Labor and the union movement, which has vowed to fight the proposal.
Unions NSW said its official campaign against the government's privatisation plans would launch on Saturday.
The campaign, titled NSW Not For Sale, would include strategic door knocking and digital campaigning, as well as radio and television advertisements, it said.
Unions NSW said the campaign was similar to those carried out in Victoria and Queensland which were "instrumental in toppling pro-privatisation governments in recent months".
