There are many important reasons to work under a Local 802 agreement. Among the most important is access to quality health care and insurance.

The Local 802 Musicians Health Fund was established in 1951 for musicians and their families and is administered by a joint board of employers, a union trustee and plan administrator. The union’s trustee is Local 802’s president. The fund was established to receive contributions on behalf of musicians from employers only. This means that the plan cannot be purchased by musicians individually, except as provided by law (such as COBRA).
