The Workplace Relations Minister says she's disappointed unions are mis-characterising plans on Fair Pay Agreements.

Elements of the Government's moves to repeal the policy were leaked to media last night.

CTU President Richard Wagstaff subsequently told press he was upset unions had not been consulted about the plans.

But Brooke Van Velden says his comments are not true.

"Look, I was sworn into Government on Monday, and on Wednesday I sat down with both Business NZ and the Council of Trade Unions."
