The notice affects all musical work with the production of "Amadeus". The parties have been negotiating since January, without result.
I would say that we have made demands for improvements and they have made demands for deteriorations, so I would say that we are quite far from each other, says Mattias Qvarsell.
The employer organization Svensk Scenkonst has offered an agreement with wage increases of 6.4 percent, according to the normative so-called mark in the Swedish labor market.
" We have offered an agreement on the mark where the issue of overtime compensation to part-time workers is also included, but the counterparties have had additional demands that we could not accept", says Svensk Scenkonst's chief negotiator Maria Grundtman in a press release.
The Musicians' Union demands, among other things, investments in low-wage earners and greater security for freelancers.
When the notice comes into effect on June 5, there are only three performances left of the performance period for "Amadeus", according to Kulturhuset Stadsteatern's website. So it won't be that affected.
No, that's a good objection. Now we want to signal that we mean business. It's not like we're just kidding. If they take countermeasures, then we'll have to step up the pace a bit, says Mattias Qvarsell.
Philip Zandén, Simon Reithner, Maja Rung, and Per Andersson are among the actors in the production about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Actors are often affiliated with the trade union Scen & Film, but are still affected since the production cannot be performed without musicians.
