JUSAG strike continues Monday – No deal reached with government
Judicial Service staff say no official feedback was received from Government or Management as at 4:00pm on Sunday, despite final demands submitted on Thursday
The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) says its indefinite strike will continue on Monday, 9th November, 2026, after failing to reach an agreement with Government and the Management of the Judicial Service.
In a statement dated Sunday, 8th November, 2026 and signed by its President, Abdulai Yakubu, JUSAG said its leadership, in collaboration with the Senior Staff Association of Judicial Service of Ghana (SSAJUG), has engaged Management and Government over the past days with a view to reaching an agreement that balances the demands of staff with any constraints Government may be facing.
According to the statement, the unions communicated their final demand to Government on Thursday, 5th November, 2026, stating that the revised position is the best the unions are able to come to to improve the living conditions of staff and restore justice delivery.
However, as at 4:00pm on Sunday, 8th November, 2026, no official feedback had been received from either Government or the Management of the Judicial Service.
“In view of the above, we wish to inform 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 our demands are met,” the statement said.
JUSAG further directed that all staff, including members serving at the Supreme Court, shall stay away from work during the pendency of the strike.
The Association empathised with Ghanaians and institutions that require its services, but said present conditions make it impossible for members to render their services.
“We shall return when our demands are met, and staff is highly satisfied and motivated,” the statement added.
The strike is expected to continue to affect court operations across the country until a resolution is reached.
