not agents exactly. it's more about locking certain venues into having x% of union labor. the % varies depending on venue size, location, etc.

in this particular instance, one is allowed to work in non-union venues, but it's generally frowned upon if you work at a "union gig" under a different agreement than the approved union contract, if that makes sense
