JUSAG, SSAJUG suspend indefinite strike effective November 10

The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) and the Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (SSAJUG) have announced the suspension of their indefinite strike following engagements with government over outstanding concerns regarding salary reviews and related allowances.

The two unions, in a statement dated November 9, 2026, said they had received official correspondence from the Office of the President addressing issues surrounding the review of salaries and related allowances for staff of the Judicial Service.

The announcement follows a meeting between the union leadership and management of the Judicial Service, led by the Chief Justice, with support from the President of the Judicial Service, Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang, and the Judicial Secretary, Mr Ahmed Musah.

The meeting was held to consider a revised approval issued by the government to address the concerns that triggered the industrial action.

According to the unions, the revised government position largely addressed the outstanding issues, prompting their leadership to submit a revised position on the commitments received from the Office of the President.

They described the development as a final pathway towards resolving the impasse and subsequently announced that the strike would be suspended effective Tuesday, November 10, 2026, pending the finalisation of the commitments.

JUSAG and SSAJUG commended President John Dramani Mahama, the Chief Justice, Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, the President of the Supreme Court, Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang, the Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine, Judicial Secretary Ahmed Musah, and the management of the Judicial Service for their roles in resolving the dispute.

The unions also expressed appreciation to members of staff for their support throughout the industrial action and acknowledged the media for its coverage.

The suspension is expected to pave the way for the resumption of normal activities within the Judicial Service while the outstanding commitments are finalised.
