The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) and the Judicial Service Staff Association of Judicial Union of Ghana (SSAJUG) have announced the suspension of their indefinite strike action, effective Tuesday, November 10, 2026.
The decision follows engagements with the government over outstanding issues concerning the review of salaries and related allowances for staff of the Judicial Service.
In a press statement issued on Monday, November 9, 2026, the unions said their leadership had received official correspondence from the Office of the President regarding the outstanding issues.
The leadership also held a meeting with the management of the Judicial Service, led by the Chief Justice, with support from Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang and the Judicial Secretary, to consider the revised approval issued by the government.
According to the statement, the revised position of the government had largely addressed the outstanding concerns.
The unions, according to the statement, subsequently submitted a revised 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, 10th November 2026 pending the finalisation of the commitments,” the statement said.
The leadership commended President John Dramani Mahama, the Chief Justice, Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, President of the Supreme Court, Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Dr Dominic A. Ayine, Judicial Secretary, Mr Ahamed Musah, and the management of the Judicial Service for their roles in resolving the impasse.
