Series - Unions and associations of Powers Brothers

Series consists of documents pertaining to various unions and associations to which Powers Brothers belonged or had a professional connection. The unions tended to be based in various regions of the Maritime Provinces; Powers Brothers secured contracts in many locations throughout the Maritimes, and consequently had to cooperate with many different local unions. The union-related documents primarily consist of correspondence and copies of labour agreements. The majority of associations in this series were based in Nova Scotia, but some were national in scope (such as the Mechanical Contractors Association of Canada). There are three main types of associations to which Powers Brothers belonged: professional associations; retail associations; and general, local business associations, namely the Lunenburg Economic Development Commission. The association-related documents include membership certificates, authorized- dealer certificates, correspondence, memos, minutes, and reports. Bulk from 1965 - 1985.
