The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG), in collaboration with the Senior Staff Association of the Judicial Service (SSAJUG), has announced that their indefinite strike will continue today, Monday, November 9, 2026, following a deadlock with government and judicial management.
In a joint statement issued on Sunday, November 8, 2026, leadership revealed that despite engaging relevant authorities over preceding days to balance staff demands with fiscal constraints, their final ultimatum issued on Thursday, November 5, 2026, yielded no official response by the 4:00 pm deadline.
“As at 4:00pm of Sunday, November 8, 2026, no official feedback was received from either the Government or Management of the Judicial Service,” the statement read. “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 unions stressed that the revised terms submitted last week represent their utmost compromise to revamp living standards and safeguard justice delivery. Consequently, all personnel, including those stationed at the Supreme Court, have been instructed to stay away from their desks until further notice.
While acknowledging the public inconvenience, leadership maintained that current economic realities leave them with no viable alternative. “Whiles we empathize with the people of Ghana and the institutions who require our services, our present conditions make it impossible for us to render our services.”
The industrial action is jointly signed by Abdulai Yakubu, General Secretary of JUSAG, and George Taylor, General Secretary of SSAJUG. The association maintains that normal operations will only resume once staff are adequately motivated and all grievances are fully addressed.
