The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSSAG) has threatened to proceed with its planned demonstration if negotiations with government over their unpaid outstanding allowances is not resolved by Tuesday.
[contextly_sidebar id=”TSHHcjbEQVZ8ccOPAv4ndU9bJyHH8WMg”]The Executives of JUSSAG last week announced their intention to withdraw their services on May, 20, 2015 following government’s failure to pay their outstanding allowances.
However in April, the Minister of Employment and Labour, Haruna Iddrisu, advised JUSSAG to use dialogue to address their conditions of service.
He urged the group to negotiate their conditions of service with the Judicial Council and indicated that, the Ministry of Employment and Labour and the Fair Wages and Salary Commission (FWSC) will be available to give advice.
The General Secretary of JUSSAG, Derrick Annang told Citi News that members of the Association will withdraw their services if their grievances are not addressed after their meeting with the Employment Minister.
“We have a meeting on Tuesday with the Minister of Employment to work out how we will have our money by Tuesday and from that meeting that is where we will substantiate on whether we will embark on a full strike or not… We will give them the benefit of the doubt, if it turns out to be untrue then the consequences or the effects have to be borne by them; we will go on strike,”said Mr. Annang.
