With the players' union Professional Footballers Australia (PFA) and FFA set to meet again later this week to see if any new common ground can be found, Jedinak has warned the governing body that players had resolved not to take less than they feel they deserve.
"The players can't accept a deal that we believe will not allow the game to achieve its potential," he said.
"We want to work with FFA and the clubs to grow the game and we honestly believe that our claims give the game the platform to go forward."
Two months after the expiration of the Socceroos and A-League collective bargaining agreement, there remains no codified deal to replace it.
Player pay dispute
PFA furious with FFA over salary cap changes announcement
Football Federation Australia has put its final offer to A-League players in the fortnight before the deal's expiration, without any public concession since then.
To be negotiated are pay deals for the Asian Cup-winning Socceroos, the Matildas and A-League.
FFA's move to shift key planks of its CBA offer into the regulations for the upcoming A-League season enraged PFA, which claimed to be left out of the loop over the move.
Jedinak's Socceroos team-mate Matt McKay told Fairfax Media players were "shocked and disappointed" by FFA's actions.
"(FFA) then came out with these new player contracts and regulations - but we're still supposed to be negotiating," he said.
"It seems they're just not interested in our views."
Jedinak rubbished claims the players union was acting out of school, saying Australia's footballers stood behind the PFA leadership.
"The PFA has the complete backing of the players," he said.
"The PFA has and always will act in the best interests of the game. As players, we would never do anything that harms the game."
