PHILADELPHIA – The people of Philadelphia have a long tradition of friendly relations with labor unions.

So why are they complaining about hearing the natural sound of organized labor when they wake up every morning?

It seems the city’s building and trades union is upset because the Wynham Hotel is using out-of-town workers for an ongoing renovation project, according to a report from NBC 10.

They’re demonstrating their disgust by playing a loud recording of a crying baby outside the hotel every morning.

Nearby residents reportedly don’t appreciate the noise, particularly before 8 a.m., when the city’s noise ordinance is in effect.

“We understand what they’re doing and why they’re protesting,” city resident Gloria Bell was quoted as saying. “What we have a problem with is the method that they’re using and this screeching noise early in the morning before the time that the city ordinances allow.”

One resident reportedly called the police about the noise, was told to call 911 Central Dispatch, and did so. City officials responded to the scene to test the noise level, but the sound was turned way down and they found no violation of the ordinance, the news report said.

“Then at 8:01 a.m. the noise started again,” Bell said.

It sounds as if the union has a friend at Central Dispatch who tipped off the protesters before officials could reach the site.

A union representative told the media that protesters will honor the noise ordinance from now on, but the crying sound will continue during legal hours until the renovation project is finished, the news report said.

There’s nothing surprising about that.

It’s typical for labor unions to carry on like spoiled children when they don’t get their way. They don’t care if their tantrums bother anyone. They don’t care if they make fools of themselves. They’re going to make as much obnoxious noise as possible until their goal is accomplished.

Picture a brat in a grocery store throwing himself on the floor and screaming when he doesn’t get that candy bar he craves. That kid doesn’t mind making a scene. The end always justified the means, regardless of how pathetic the tactics may be.

That’s the union way.
