According to the Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG), despite requests to call off the strike, it is still in effect as of today (May 29).
JUSAG began an indefinite strike last Thursday, May 25, to press for the adoption of a revised compensation system for its members for the years 2023 and 2024.
The group claims that all attempts to persuade the government to accept the new compensation system have failed. Since then, the strike has had a deleterious impact on judicial delivery throughout the nation.
The Judicial Service has made numerous requests to get the striking employees back to work, but none of them have been successful.
Abdullai Yakubu, the general secretary of JUSAG, stated that the organization hoped to advance its demands.
Even though its membership is slated to meet with the Judicial Service’s administration, he said, the strike will continue in its entirety until its demands are met.
“Our strike continues to be in effect today. Discussions with leadership and other gatherings will be held in order to address our needs.
However, the strike continues to be in effect until those talks transpire and we are aware of what they will bring to the table in terms of honoring our demands, especially since the discussions will take place throughout the day.
While expressing sympathy for the populace, Mr. Abdulai begged the Ghanaians to be patient while the Association worked to meet their needs.
“We recognize the suffering that Ghanaians would experience as a result of the strike, and we argue that they should equally recognize the challenges that the administration has to face in dealing with us. They should hang in there because we’ll let everyone know when the strike is over.
