The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSSAG), has declared a strike over government’s failure to implement the consolidation of salaries and allowances for its members.
According to JUSSAG, it can no longer deal with the government lackadaisical attitude towards their demands and are therefore withdrawing their services till the matter is resolved.
They embarked on a similar strike in April which lasted for a day and was called off after assurances from the Minister of Employment and Labour Relations to ensure the quick implementation of their concerns.
JUSSAG indicated that the Judicial Council, after reviewing the conditions of service of staff of the Judicial Service, concluded in 2015 that the allowances and salaries of the staff should be consolidated.
After a painstaking period of consideration, the Judicial Council forwarded the approved salaries in June 2015 to the government for implementation.
However, after over a year, the government is yet to implement the approved salaries.
