JUSAG awaits signing of agreement reached with gov’t before calling off strike over salary arrears
The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) has maintained its strike despite an appeal by Labour Minister Emmanuel Kwadwo Agyekum to suspend the industrial action following an agreement to improve workers' allowances.
The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) has continued its strike despite the Labour Minister's appeal to suspend the industrial action. The Labour Minister, Emmanuel Kwadwo Agyekum, met with the association on Tuesday, November 3, to discuss resolving the issue of salary arrears. However, JUSAG President, Samuel Otu, stated that the association will only end the strike once the agreement is formally signed and its implementation begins.
The strike, which started on Monday, November 2, has caused disruptions at various court premises throughout the country. JUSAG is demanding that the outstanding revised salary arrears, dating back to January 2026, be paid. The Judicial Secretary, Musah Ahmed, had previously urged the association to reconsider its decision, noting that high-level negotiations were underway between management and the association to find a resolution.
Despite the minister's appeal and the latest negotiations, JUSAG's stance indicates that court operations may remain affected until the agreed measures are implemented.
