JUSAG to strike over delayed review of salaries
“We were due to have our payment regime revised in 2020 for implementation in 2021. Since January this year, a review ought to have taken effect.”
The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana, JUSAG has threatened to proceed on strike if government refuses to implement the recommended review of their salaries.
JUSAG held an executive meeting after which it decided it would give the government a two-week ultimatum, after which it will down its tools if there are no substantive outcomes.
A statement by the association indicated that “Within two weeks from October 1, the government must take action on the recommended salaries. If within two weeks the government does not do anything about it, they should not blame us, because we will advise ourselves according to law”.
The National President of JUSAG, Alex Nartey told Accra-based Citi News that the review was long overdue.
Recall that JUSAG proceeded on a similar strike action on November 13, 2019 over government’s inability to review the salaries of its members.
“We were due to have our payment regime revised in 2020 for implementation in 2021. Since January this year, a review ought to have taken effect.”
“The Judicial Council has done its part, but we have sat waiting for the government to play its part with no response,” Mr. Nartey noted.
