What We Do

Join Merit
As a network of experienced open shop members in Nova Scotia’s construction industry:

We regularly share expertise and collaborate to solve human resource issues, contract bidding & negotiation practices – as well as other key areas of business support.

We play a leadership role with educators and trainers to increase the relevance of apprenticeship training.

We advocate for, and protect open-shop businesses and workers against unfair labour practices.

We provide one of the most comprehensive and affordable employee benefits plans in Atlantic Canada – specifically designed for construction businesses and their employees.
