COLUMBUS, Ohio — President Barack Obama showed support on Wednesday for opponents of bills in Ohio and Wisconsin that restrict unions and public employee bargaining rights.

During an interview with Cleveland television station WKYC, Obama said the bills were an effort to blame public employees for the nation's economic problems.

"Let's certainly not blame public employees for a financial crisis that they had nothing to do with. And let's not use this as an excuse to erode their bargaining rights," Obama said. "So whether it's Wisconsin, the state of Ohio, I strongly disapprove."

Thousands of protestors tried to block Senate Bill 5 before Gov. John Kasich signed it into law last month, 10TV's Maureen Kocot reported.

The measure affects safety workers, teachers, nurses and a host of other government personnel. It allows unions to negotiate wages but not health care, sick time or pension benefits. It also does away with automatic pay increases in favor of merit raises.
