JUSAG vows to continue strike if government fails to meet revised demands

The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) has vowed to continue its ongoing strike if the government fails to meet its revised demands regarding members' conditions of service. The association claims it has made concessions to its original demands in order to reach an agreement with the government, but thus far, the response has not been satisfactory.

Abdulai Yakubu, JUSAG's General Secretary, disclosed this in an interview on Channel One Newsroom on November 7, 2026. Yakubu stated that the association initially submitted its demands to the Presidency but revised its position after receiving a government response that did not meet its members' expectations. He described the revised demands as the association's best possible compromise and warned that members would remain on strike if the government does not accept them.

Yakubu added that the association has made its position clear to the government and is prepared to sustain the industrial action if an agreement is not reached. He emphasized that the association's position remains that, given the extent to which they have gone with the government, if it is unable to meet their demands, they may still have to continue the strike.

The resolution of the dispute now hinges on further engagement with the government over the revised conditions-of-service demands.
