The players' union says it has not had input into a revamped personal conduct policy the NFL owners approved Wednesday, according to the Associated Press.
The union has sought to have any alterations to the policy negotiated.
The current policy was part of the 2011 collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and the NFL Players Association. But in the wake of the Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson cases, portions of the policy are being reworked.
"In the latest of four talks (about the personal conduct policy) they progressively got less interested," NFL Players Association President Eric Winston said of the NFL during a conference call Tuesday. "And we found out before this last meeting that they were already planning to present it. They basically asked us to a meeting as a farce, to say they met with the players three or four times."
Among the union's aims is to have Commissioner Roger Goodell's role in handing out discipline reduced or even eliminated.
