The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) and the Senior Staff Association of the Judicial Service of Ghana (SSAJUG) have suspended their indefinite strike, effective Tuesday, November 10, 2026, following engagements with the government over outstanding salary and allowance concerns.
The decision was announced in a joint statement issued on Monday, November 9, and signed by the National Presidents of the two unions, Samuel Afotey Otu and Marilyn E. M. Suttah, on behalf of their respective National Executive Councils.
The unions said they received official correspondence from the Office of the President on Monday concerning the outstanding issues surrounding the review of salaries and related allowances for Judicial Service staff.
They also held a meeting with Judicial Service Management, led by Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, with the support of Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang and Judicial Secretary Ahamed Musah, to consider the revised government approval.
According to the unions, the government’s revised position largely addressed the concerns that had led to the industrial action. They subsequently submitted a revised position on the commitments received from the Presidency as part of efforts to bring the strike to an end.
“ In view of this development, JUSAG and SSAJUG have resolved to suspend the strike action effective Tuesday, 10th November 2026, pending the finalisation of the commitments,” the statement said.
The two associations commended President John Dramani Mahama, the Chief Justice, Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice Dr Dominic Ayine, the Judicial Secretary and the Management of the Judicial Service for their roles in resolving the impasse.
They also expressed appreciation to their members for their support throughout the strike and thanked the media for its coverage of the industrial action.
