The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) and the Judicial Service Association of Ghana (SSAJUG) have announced the suspension of their indefinite strike following progress in negotiations with the government over salary reviews and related allowances.

In a joint statement dated November 9, 2026, the two unions said they had received official correspondence from the Office of President regarding outstanding concerns over the review of salaries and allowances for Judicial Service staff.

The unions also held a meeting with the management of the Judicial Service, led by the Chief Justice, Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, and attended by Supreme Court Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang and the Judicial Secretary, Ahamed Musah, to consider the revised government approval.

According to the statement, the government’s revised position largely addressed the outstanding issues, prompting the unions to submit a further revised position on the commitments received from the Presidency as a final step towards ending the industrial action.

Following these developments, JUSAG and SSAJUG have resolved to suspend the strike effective Tuesday, November 10, 2026, pending the finalisation of the commitments.

The unions commended President John Dramani Mahama, the Chief Justice, Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine, the Judicial Secretary and the management of the Judicial Service for their roles in resolving the impasse.

They also expressed appreciation to Judicial Service staff for their unwavering support throughout the strike and thanked the media for their professional coverage of the industrial action.

The statement was signed by JUSAG National President Samuel Afoti Yeny and SSAJUG National President Marilyn E. M. Suttah on behalf of the national executive councils of both unions.
