JUSAG Strike Continues as Government Fails to Respond To Final Demands

The indefinite strike by staff of the Judicial Service continues on Monday, November 9, 2026, after the Government failed to give official feedback on the unions’ final demands.

In an update issued on Sunday, November 8, 2026, the leadership of the Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG), in collaboration with the Senior Staff Association of the Judicial Service of Ghana (SSAJUG), said it had engaged the Management of the Judicial Service over the past days with a view to reaching an agreement that balances the demand of the staff with any constraint that the Government may be facing.

The unions communicated their final demand to the Government on Thursday, November 5, 2026, stating that the revised position is the best the unions are able to come through in order to improve the living conditions of staff and restore justice delivery.

“As at 4:00 pm on Sunday, November 8, 2026, no official feedback was received from either the Government or Management of the Judicial Service.”

In view of that, the unions informed all staff of the Judicial Service and the general public that the indefinite strike continues on Monday, November 9, 2026, and shall continue to be in force until their demands are met.

Notice was further served that all staff, including members serving at the Supreme Court, shall stay away from work during the pendency of the strike.

While empathising with the people of Ghana and the institutions who require their services, the unions said their present conditions make it impossible for them to render their services.

They said they shall return when their demands are met, and staff are highly satisfied and motivated.
