The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) and the Senior Staff Association of Judicial Service of Ghana (SSAJUG) have suspended their indefinite strike, effective Tuesday, November 10, 2026.
In a statement issued on Monday, November 9, the unions said they received official correspondence from the Office of the President regarding the outstanding issues on the review of salaries and related allowances for staff of the Judicial Service.
The leadership of the unions also held a meeting with Management, led by the Chief Justice, Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, supported by Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang and the Judicial Secretary, Mr. Ahamed Musah, to consider the revised approval issued by the Government.
According to the statement, the revised position of the Government largely addressed the outstanding issues.
The leadership, in turn, submitted a revised position on the commitments received from the President as a final path 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 unions commended President John Dramani Mahama, the Chief Justice, Justice Pwamang, the Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic A. Ayine, the Judicial Secretary and Management of the Judicial Service for their dedicated leadership which led to the resolution of the impasse.
They also thanked staff for their unwavering support throughout the strike, describing them as a strong pillar of the success achieved, and thanked the media for their professional reportage.
The strike, which began on Monday, November 2, 2026, paralysed court activities across the country for over a week, with litigants, lawyers and persons on remand unable to access justice.
Courts are expected to resume full operations from Tuesday, November 10.
