The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) has called on all members to stay home from Monday, November 2.
According to the Association, this decision has been taken as a result of failure by government to address members’ grievances as contained in a press statement recently.
It noted how it had notified the National Labour Commission (NLC) over a possible strike should government fail to address their grievances.
“Our demands were simple and straight forward: (a) approval of the Judicial Council’s recommendations by the end of October 2026; and (b) Payment of the new salaries in November 2026 with the necessary arrears from January to October 2026.”
JUSAG claims the Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations had to schedule a meeting for Tuesday, November 3 after a directive from the Commission, “knowing that by that time, the strike would have been delayed”.
It complained about neglect over decisions taken by the Ministry of Finance to address members’ concerns.
“The NECs of JUSAG and SSAJUG collectively rejected the letter of the Finance Ministry as it does not address our demands,” a statement announcing the industrial action said.
“Accordingly, JUSAG in collaboration with SSAJUG declared an indefinite strike starting from Monday, 2nd November , 2026.
“By this declaration, staff are to stay home from Monday, 2nd November , 2026 until our concerns are addressed and leadership communicate to members.”
