The five-day-old strike by the Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) has been put on hold for two weeks.
The suspension is intended to open the door for further discussion of the association’s demands with the administration.
In making the announcement of the postponement, JUSAG President Samuel Afotey Otu stated that if the government does not abide by the agreement, the strike will resume on June 13.
The ongoing strike has been put on hold for two weeks to allow for party involvement and expedite the review, approval, and payment of new salaries in the month of June 2023, he said.
JUSAG announced the strike in support of the demands for the application of the agreed-upon salary levels.
The association had earlier declared it would continue its strike until the government complied with its demands. Abdullai Yakubu, the general secretary of JUSAG, had stated that they would carry on talks with the government even though they were not working.
The group has suspended the strike, nevertheless, following a meeting today, May 29, between the Office of the President, the Ministry of Employment, and the National Labour Commission.
Courtrooms around the nation were deserted on Thursday as a result of the strike, with stranded litigants pleading with both the workers to change their minds and the government to solve the issues facing the workers.
