The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) has announced a suspension of its nationwide strike from Tuesday, November 10.
This follows a crunch meeting between leadership of the Association and management of the Judicial Council led by Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie.
The meeting was occasioned by a correspondence received by the Judicial Service from President John Dramani Mahama regarding the outstanding issues on salary reviews and related allowances.
“The revised position of the government largely addressed the outstanding issues,” a press release announcing the resumption of work stated.
“The leadership, in turn, submitted a revised position on the commitments received from the Office of His Excellency the President as a final path towards ending the industrial action.”
JUSAG, therefore, insisted that pending the finalisation of commitments, the two-week old strike has been suspended.
The Association commended President Mahama, Chief Justice Baffoe-Bonnie, Supreme Court judge Gabriel Scott Pwamang, the Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine, the Judicial Secretary, Ahmed Musah and management of the Judicial Service “for their dedicated leadership, which has led to the resolution of this impasse”.
It further thanked members “for their unwavering support for the leadership of JUSAG and SSAJUG throughout the strike”.
“You have been a strong pillar of the success achieved today.”
