The States is debating plans for spending until 2008, which includes reducing the number of people working for the government.
The Policy and Resources President said the only way to reduce civil servant numbers would be through dialogue with union representatives and employees.
'Very sad'
Senator Walker said he was concerned a major union was "walking away" from the process.
"I was very sad that already the T&G have said they are not prepared to co-operate and are walking away from it," he said.
"In total contrast, thankfully, to other union representatives who were present at a meeting last week."
