The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana, JUSAG, announced on Friday, October 30, 2026, that it would commence an indefinite strike from Monday, November 2, 2026, due to the government's failure to approve and implement reviewed salaries for the Judicial Service staff. The union had submitted a proposal to the Judicial Council in December 2025 for the President's consideration, following delays and reminders, the Judicial Council provided its advice to the Presidency, but the approval process was delayed, leading to frustration among the staff.
The JUSAG notified various government authorities, including the Minister for Jobs, Labour Relations, and Employment, and the Minister for Finance, about its intention to strike. Despite being given until October 30, 2026, for the matter to be addressed, the Ministry only invited the association to a meeting on November 3, which was after the strike had begun.
The union expressed dissatisfaction with the handling of the matter, stating that the Ministry's letter addressing the demands was prepared without the union's input. In compliance with the decision of its National Executive Council, JUSAG declared the indefinite strike, with all Judicial Service staff expected to stay away from work until their demands are met.
