JUSAG to honour meeting with government but refuses to compromise on strike demands
The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) has said it will honour an invitation to a meeting with government to discuss its ongoing strike, but insists it will not compromise on the demands that prompted the industrial action.
The Judicial Service in Ghana has urged members of the Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) to resume work and return to their posts while negotiations over the 2026 salary review continue. The association had declared an indefinite strike starting November 2, 2026, due to the government's refusal to approve the proposed salary increase for Judicial Service staff.
In a letter to JUSAG on October 31, the management appealed to the union's leadership and members to prioritize the national interest and the impact of the strike on access to justice. They emphasized that their presence in the courts is crucial for upholding the rule of law and protecting citizens' rights. The management assured JUSAG that their concerns were being addressed seriously and that they were engaged in high-level negotiations with relevant government stakeholders.
The management stressed the importance of the Judicial Service in maintaining the nation's rule of law and protecting citizens' rights. They reiterated their commitment to resolving the salary review dispute promptly and fairly, while urging staff to focus on the needs of the public during ongoing discussions.
