About the SBKV

The SBKV is in an employer-employee relationship with the Swiss Stage Association
SBV, with whom the SBKV has concluded the collective agreements operative in the
SBV theatres.

The SBKV offers technical and legal advice, and legal aid in case of conflicts relating
to labour and social-security law. (Please call for consultation appointment).

The SBKV has a relief fund for those in need, an old-age pension scheme (Charles
Apothéloz Foundation CAST, a retirement fund for freelancers), and a collective health
insurance fund. The SBKV publishes an annual print-version Catalogue of Performers
with photos posted of actresses, actors, and musical performers; and an online-version
Catalogue. It has a retraining fund (aid and advice with vocational re-education) and
offers technical advice on neighbouring or related rights (SWISSPERFORM).

The SBKV closely co-operates with other national cultural workers' associations and
trade unions such as SSRS, Syndicat Suisse Romande du Spectacle; VTS, Vereinigte
Theaterschaffende Schweiz etc. The SBKV is in a cartel compound with the German
GDBA, Genossenschaft Deutscher Bühnenangehöriger; ver.di Darstellende Kunst;
and with the Austrian kmsfb Kunst Medien Sport Freie Berufe, of the Austrian trade-
unions congress.
