Swedish Union of Professional Musicians

The Swedish Union of Professional Musicians (Swedish: Sveriges Yrkesmusikerförbund - SYMF) is a trade union that organises professional singers and musicians. The union emerged as a split from the Swedish Musicians' Union (SMF) in the mid-1980s to solely represent musicians with employment contracts (as opposed to freelance musicians).[1] SYMF and SMF jointly negotiate a national collective agreement with the Swedish employers' group, Swedish Performing Arts, which covers wages, insurance, copyright and pensions.[1][2]
