Judicial Service appeals to striking JUSAG members to return to work

The Judicial Service Management has reached out to members of the Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) to resume work while ongoing negotiations take place regarding the 2026 salary review. In a communication to staff, management recognized the discontent stemming from the unresolved salary matter and assured workers that their concerns were being addressed with the required seriousness.

They stated that they were engaged in high-level discussions with relevant government stakeholders to arrive at a fair and sustainable resolution that acknowledges the valuable contributions of Judicial Service staff.

Management appealed to JUSAG leadership and its members to consider the national interest and return to their duties while the negotiation process continues. They warned that court operations disruptions would affect not only the administration of justice but also the citizens, particularly vulnerable individuals, accused persons, their families, and those seeking justice or redress.

The statement emphasized that every staff member, from the registry to the courtroom, played a crucial role in ensuring the effective administration of justice and maintaining public confidence in the country's legal system. Management reminded workers of their constitutional duty to the people of Ghana, who are the ones to whom justice is administered.

Management reiterated its commitment to swiftly and fairly resolving the salary review impasse, while urging staff to keep the public's needs and their responsibility to serve at the forefront of their ongoing discussions.
