Join Musikerförbundet today for a stronger future in the stagehand profession!
Musikerförbundet cares about the entire music industry. By having both stagehands and musicians as members in the same union, we gain a stronger negotiating position with our counterparts: stagehand companies and event organizers.
How we works to help you:
Collective agreements
Our collective agreement for stagehands in the music industry is applicable at an increasing number of companies. Review the collective agreement and compare it with your own employment conditions. If your conditions are worse than those in the collective agreement, you should contact Musikerförbundet so that we can ensure everyone receives fair compensation and conditions at work. The agreement includes, among other things:
- Salary: At least 160 SEK/hour
- OB1 after 11:00 PM, and all Sundays and holidays: 20% supplement
- OB2 after 3:00 AM, and for “pure night jobs”: 50% supplement
- Overtime pay: 50% from the second hour of overtime
- Holiday pay: 12% of the total salary
- Occupational pension: 5.8%

Union support
If something goes wrong at work, as a member of Musikerförbundet, you always have someone on your side who can help you protect your rights. This can involve incorrect pay, last-minute cancellations, incorrect holiday pay, dismissals, and other work-related challenges. We provide you with negotiation assistance and advice on everything related to your professional life and have access to effective negotiation tools to achieve balanced agreements and provide job security.
The employer cannot prohibit you from contacting the union
It has come to our attention that employers do not want employees to contact the Musicians’ Union. No one can prevent you from contacting the union. Even if the employer claims confidentiality. Anyone who prevents you from speaking with the Musicians’ Union risks breaking the law. We will never, without your permission, inform the employer that you have been in contact with us or why.
Work environment issues
Stagehands are exposed to significant risks in their work. Many get injured. If you feel that the employer is not doing enough to prevent accidents, or simply want to discuss a work environment issue, you can contact the Musicians’ Union’s safety representative. You can remain anonymous.
