The Swedish Union of Professional Musicians ( Swedish: Sveriges Yrkesmusikerförbund - SYMF) is a trade union that will organise professional singers and musicians. The union emerged as a split from the Swedish Musicians' Union (SMF) in the mid-1980's 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]
