The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) has warned that its members will begin an indefinite strike on Monday, November 2, 2026, unless the government takes action on their outstanding salary review.
In a notice dated October 23, 2026, addressed to the National Labor Commission, the association demanded approval of the Judicial Council’s recommendations by October 31.
JUSAG also wants the revised salaries reflected in November payments, together with all arrears covering January to October 2026.
According to the association’s General Secretary, Abdulai Yakubu, the Judicial Council has completed its assessment and submitted its recommendations to the President. He said the submission followed the framework provided under Article 149 of the 1992 Constitution and the Judicial Service Regulations, 2025 (C.I. 141).
The association attributed the dispute to prolonged delays in securing approval and implementing the proposed adjustments, despite the completion of the council’s review.
Its leadership said the continued wait had affected staff morale, particularly as other public sector employees had already received their adjusted salaries for 2026.
JUSAG maintains that judicial service workers should not be left behind and is seeking a firm commitment to both the revised pay and the outstanding arrears.
If the dispute remains unresolved, the proposed withdrawal of services could disrupt court administration and delay justice delivery across the country.
