Cos the union's missin'

Who'd a thunk it? A Garth Brooks lyric figuring in a struggle for workers' trade union rights. Here's part of the (adapted) lyric:

Yeah, I got friends with low wages
They work for Wal-Mart in outrageous
-ly bad conditions
Cos the union's missin'
It's time for us to be courageous
And stop these union-bustin' outrages
Because I don't need any more friends with lo-ow wages

Here's the original lyric. Here's the American Rights at Work video. (It takes a while to load, but is well worth watching.) Stuart Elliott has the story.
