The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) and the Senior Staff Association of the Judicial Service of Ghana (SSAJUG) have announced that their indefinite strike will continue on Monday, November 9, following the failure of the government and Judicial Service management to respond to their revised demands.

The two unions said they had submitted their final demands to the government on Thursday, November 5, after engaging government representatives and Judicial Service management in an effort to resolve the dispute.

In a joint statement dated Sunday, November 8, and signed by JUSAG General Secretary Abdulai Yakubu and SSAJUG General Secretary George Taylor, the unions said their revised proposal was the best position they could offer to improve workers' living conditions and restore effective justice delivery.

They said the proposal also took into consideration the financial constraints facing the government.

However, the unions said they had received no official feedback from either the government or Judicial Service management as of 4:00 p.m. on Sunday.

“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 said.

The unions consequently announced that the industrial action would remain in force until their demands were met.

“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,” they stated.

They also directed all Judicial Service staff, including those serving at the Supreme Court, to stay away from work during the strike.

“Notice is further served that all staff including members serving at the Supreme Court shall stay away from work during the pendency of the strike,” the statement added.

The unions acknowledged the disruption the industrial action would cause to the public and institutions that depend on Judicial Service operations.

“Whilst we empathise with the people of Ghana and the institutions who require our services, our present conditions make it impossible for us to render our services,” they said.

They maintained that their members would only return to work when their demands had been met and staff were satisfied with the outcome.

“We shall return when our demands are met, and staff are highly satisfied and motivated,” the statement added.
