The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG), in collaboration with the Senior Staff Association of the Judicial Service of Ghana (SSAJUG), says its indefinite strike will continue on Monday, November 9, 2026.
The two unions say government has still not responded to the final demand they submitted to improve the living conditions of staff and restore justice delivery.
They insist the action will remain in force until their demands are met.
In an update released on Sunday, November 8, 2026, the unions said they had engaged the Management of the Judicial Service and the government over the past days with the view to reaching an agreement that balances the demand of staff with any constraint the government may be facing.
However, it said as at 4:00pm on Sunday, November 8, 2026, no official feedback had been received from either the government or the Management of the Judicial Service.
“The unions communicated our final demand to the Government on Thursday, 5th November, 2026 stating that the revised position is the best the unions are able to come through in order to improve the living conditions of staff and restore justice delivery,” the statement said.
“In view of the above, we wish to inform all staff of the Judicial Service and the general public that the indefinite strike continues on Monday, November 9, 2026, and shall continue to be in force until our demands are met,” it added.
The unions served notice that all staff, including members serving at the Supreme Court, shall stay away from work during the pendency of the strike.
“Whiles we empathize with the people of Ghana and the institutions who require our services, our present conditions make it impossible for us to render our services. We shall return when our demands are met, and staff are highly satisfied and motivated,” the statement added.
The update was signed by Abdulai Yakubu, General Secretary of JUSAG, and George Taylor, General Secretary of SSAJUG.
JUSAG declared an indefinite strike last week over conditions of service, a move that has disrupted court proceedings across the country, with many courts sitting without staff and litigants turned away.
The government and the Judicial Service Management are yet to publicly respond to the latest update regarding the extension of the strike.
