The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSSAG), has called off its indefinite strike.
The National President of JUSSAG, Alex Nartey, said the Association has reached an agreement with government on the implementation of their consolidated salaries.
[contextly_sidebar id=”HTOWqyvJILH7y26Azm1H3FFE1lxSoJzS”]“The National Executive Council of JUSSAG has concluded a framework with government and management in a bid to implement our proposed salary structure and we are here this morning to announce to you that it has become necessary to appeal to all members of the Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana and all workers of the Judicial service to resume work immediately,” he said.
The members of JUSSAG had been on strike for the past two weeks over government’s failure to implement the consolidation of salaries and allowances for its members.
The President of JUSSAG, yesterday [Tuesday] indicated that the Association was making progress with officials of the Employment Ministry and were closer to a resolution of the impasse.
Labor Commission suit
The National Labor Commission filed a case last week challenging the legality of the just ended strike by JUSSAG.
The NLC contended that the strike was illegal because JUSSAG failed to give the Commission the mandated seven-day notice before embarking on the strike.
The General Secretary of JUSSAG, Derrick Annan responded to the NLC by describing its suit as a distraction and a deviation from the pertinent issues relating to their salaries and allowances.
