The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) has told the government it will call off its ongoing strike only if its concerns are addressed.

For sometime now, JUSAG has been pressuring the government to revise its conditions of service to ensure they are in line with the laws.

As part of their demands, President John Dramani Mahama must ensure that the revised conditions of service submitted by the Judicial Council must be reflected in full in the final approval.Addressing the media on Monday, November 9, JUSAG General Secretary, Abdulai Yakubu, the President's approval of the revised conditions of service falls short of the provisions in Constitutional Instrument 141 (CI 141), and that is what the disagreement is about.

He added, “Where the law provides that ABC should be given to Judicial staff, in our humble opinion, it is not for the President to pick and choose out of that and so what was approved did not conform with the provisions of CI 141, as was recommended by the Judicial Council and to that extent, we indicated that the President’s approval should be revised to meet what has been given to staff by law.

“We have had an indication that this Monday evening, a communication will come and a meeting will be held and there is hope that our demands will be met so we could announce to the public that the strike has come to an end.”

The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) has maintained that its members will not call off their ongoing industrial action until the government addresses their concerns over the revised conditions of service and ensures that the approved arrangements conform with the applicable legal provisions.
