Merit Contractors Associations are not for profit organizations of open shop construction industry employers who have joined together to provide services and programs which benefit their employees and enhance their businesses.

The Merit Contractors Association was formed in Alberta following the 1982-85 recession by owners and senior representatives of 15 general contracting firms concerned about the state of employee relations. At the time, recessionary and competitive pressures had emaciated the workforce and depressed wages. As well, few open shop contractors were providing benefit, retirement or training programs to their employees. Merit's founders felt a more cooperative approach to employee relations was required in the construction industry.

In 1994, the Merit Contractors Association of Manitoba was incorporated, enabling Manitoba's open shop contractors and workers to participate in the Merit benefit plans.

Merit Contractors Associations are found in Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia. Refer to Links to view their individual websites.
