Accra, Nov. 10, GNA – The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) has suspended its “indefinite” nationwide strike, which began on November 2, following an agreement with the Government on revised salaries and allowances.
The Association, together with the Senior Staff Association of the Judicial Service (SSAJUG), has directed its members to resume work on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, according to a press release copied to the Ghana News Agency (GNA).
The release said on November 9, the leadership of JUSAG and SSAJUG received official correspondence from the Office of President John Dramani Mahama concerning outstanding issues relating to the review of salaries and allowances for Judicial Service staff.
The union leaders subsequently met with Management, led byJustice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, the Chief Justice, and supported by Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang, a Supreme Court Judge, and the Judicial Secretary, to consider the revised government approval.
The revised position of the Government largely addressed the outstanding issues, the release said, prompting the unions to submit a further position on the commitments received from the Office of the President as a final step towards ending the industrial action.
“In view of this development, JUSAG and SSAJUG have resolved to suspend the strike action effective Tuesday, November 10, 2026, pending the finalisation of the commitments,” the release said.
The leadership of the two unions commended President Mahama, Chief Justice Baffoe-Bonnie, Justice Pwamang, the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine, the Judicial Secretary, Mr Ahamed Musah, and the Management of the Judicial Service for their roles in resolving the impasse.
They also thanked members of staff for their unwavering support throughout the strike, describing them as a strong pillar of the success achieved.
The unions further expressed appreciation to the media for their professional reportage of the industrial action.
