The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) and the Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (SSAJUG) have suspended their indefinite strike following engagements with government over outstanding concerns regarding salary reviews and related allowances.
In a statement dated November 9, 2026, the two unions said they had received official correspondence from the Office of the President addressing concerns surrounding the review of salaries and allowances for Judicial Service staff.
The decision follows a meeting between the union leadership and the management of the Judicial Service, led by the Chief Justice, Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, with support from the President of the Supreme Court, Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang, and the Judicial Secretary, Ahmed Musah.
The meeting considered a revised government approval aimed at addressing the concerns that triggered the industrial action.
According to the unions, the revised government position largely addressed the outstanding issues, prompting them to submit a revised position on the commitments received from the Office of the President.
They described the development as a final pathway towards resolving the dispute and announced that the strike would be suspended effective Tuesday, November 10, pending the finalisation of the commitments.
The unions commended President John Dramani Mahama, the Chief Justice, the President of the Supreme Court, the Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine, and the management of the Judicial Service for their roles in resolving the impasse.
They also expressed appreciation to members for their support throughout the industrial action and acknowledged the media for its coverage.
The suspension is expected to pave the way for the resumption of normal court operations while government finalises the outstanding commitments.
