Minority calls on Chief Justice to stand with JUSAG amidst strike action

The Minority Caucus on Employment, Labour Relations and Pensions has urged Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie to demonstrate firm support for striking Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) and protect the independence of the Judiciary amid an unresolved dispute over the 2026 salary review. The caucus cautioned against any situation in which the interests of the Executive appear to outweigh those of the Judiciary, emphasizing that an independent Judiciary must not appear to subordinate its institutional interests to the convenience of the Executive.

The Minority's appeal comes as members of JUSAG continue their industrial action over outstanding concerns surrounding the 2026 salary review, with the workers expressing increasing concerns that the institution they serve is not adequately standing up for their interests.
