JUSAG serves notice of intended strike
According to JUSAG, the Judicial Council submitted a proposal in 2021 for approval on salary increments, however, nothing has been done about it.
The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) says it would embark on an indefinite strike if government fails to approve recommendations on salary reviews and other allowances.
“We wish to notify your outfit that if by Friday, 12th May 2023, if we still do not receive the approval, we shall embark on the following industrial actions: 1. Wearing of red arm bands to work from 15th May 2023 for one week. 2. If no approval is received by 19th May 2023, we shall embark on an indefinite strike,” the association said in a letter dated May 5, 2023, and addressed to the National Labour Commission.
According to JUSAG, the Judicial Council submitted a proposal in 2021 for approval on salary increments, however, nothing has been done about it.
"Even though our economic situation has deteriorated due to the adverse economic situation in the country coupled with the withdrawal of the cost of living allowance in December 2022, we have been patient for four months now.
“The rank and file of our members are very much aggrieved and agitated," JUSAG further said in its letter.
