The senior doctors’ union says the Health Minister's proposal of arbitration, would've taken away their members right to decide.
Simeon Brown wanted Health NZ and the union to let a third party decide the terms of the contract.
The Association of Salaried Medical Specialists rejected this and called his proposal a breach of employment law.
Executive Director Sarah Dalton told Heather du Plessis Allan that there were a lot of unknowns around the proposal.
She says the minister signalled they didn't see the pot of money as being any different and that's a situation they didn't want to enter into.
