The staff of the Judicial Service of Ghana have suspended their indefinite strike, effective Tuesday, November 10, 2026, following progress in negotiations with the government over their salaries and related allowances.
The decision follows a revised approval by the government, which the leadership of the Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) and the Senior Staff Association of the Judicial Service of Ghana (SSAJUG) said had largely addressed the outstanding issues surrounding the review of salaries and allowances for staff of the Judicial Service.
In a statement issued on Monday night [November 9, 2026], the unions said they had received official correspondence from the Office of the President on the outstanding issues.
They said the leadership subsequently met with the management of the Judicial Service, led by the Chief Justice, Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, to consider the revised government approval.
The statement, signed by the National Presidents of JUSAG and SSAJUG, Samuel Afotey Otu and Marilyn E. M. Sutta, said the unions had also submitted a revised position on the commitments received from the Office of the President as a final step towards ending the industrial action.
They said the suspension of the strike was, however, pending the finalisation of the commitments.
The indefinite strike, which began on November 2, 2026, has disrupted court proceedings across the country, with several courts unable to carry out their normal operations due to the absence of staff.
