JUSAG suspends indefinite strike after revised government salary offer

The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) and the Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana Union (SSAJUG) have announced the suspension of their indefinite strike, effective Tuesday, November 10, 2026.

The decision follows engagements with government and management of the Judicial Service over outstanding concerns regarding the review of salaries and related allowances for staff.

In a statement issued on Monday, November 9, the two unions said they had received official correspondence from the Office of President John Dramani Mahama outlining the government’s revised position on the issues.

The union leadership subsequently met with management of the Judicial Service, led by the Chief Justice, with support from Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang and the Judicial Secretary, to consider the revised government approval.

According to the statement, the government’s revised position had largely addressed the outstanding concerns.

The unions said they had also submitted a revised position on the commitments received from the President’s office as a final step towards resolving the industrial dispute.

“In view of this development, JUSAG and SSAJUG have resolved to suspend the strike action effective Tuesday, 10th November 2026, pending the finalisation of the commitments,” the statement said.

The leadership commended President Mahama, the Chief Justice, the President of the Supreme Court, Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine, Judicial Secretary Ahamed Musah, and the management of the Judicial Service for their roles in resolving the impasse.

They also expressed appreciation to members of staff for their support throughout the industrial action and thanked the media for its coverage of the strike.

The suspension is expected to pave the way for a return to normal operations within the Judicial Service while the parties work towards finalising the commitments made by government.
