The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) has declared an indefinite strike to draw the government’s attention to review salaries of its members.

In a statement, JUSAG accused the government of consistently disregarding the welfare and entitlements of its members, displaying a lack of honesty in addressing their conditions of service.

The Association further highlighted that their proposals regarding the prompt implementation of approved cost of living allowances for members had not been given urgent attention by the government.

“Colleagues may recall that the Government of Ghana introduced the Cost of Living Allowance (COLA) in July 2022 for all public sector workers including staff of the Judicial Service due to the adverse economic condition the country was and is still undergoing.

“JUSAG submitted its proposal for review of salaries for 2023-2024 on 31st October 2022 to the Judicial Council for consideration in its advice to the President for determination in accordance Articles 149 and 158(2) of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana.”

The Association says the time has come when it can no longer take the mistreatment of its members and has resorted to strike effective May 24.
