partially withdraw its services<\/a><\/strong><\/span> across the country over unpaid allowances from today[Thursday].<\/p>\n[contextly_sidebar id=”Abof7ycRuJNR7xwJVhqtdpwttrvFWSoF”]According JUSSAG, government, through the Labour Ministry, has given them assurances to pay all outstanding allowances by Friday\u00a0November 6, 2015.<\/p>\n
Addressing members of the Association after a meeting with the Labour Minister, the President of JUSSAG, Alex Nartey, said they rescinded their decision after government assured them that arrears will soon be settled.<\/p>\n
“We had a brief meeting with government through the Labour and Employment Minister. We told them that we are bent on executing our industrial action plan to its logical conclusion and there is no way we are going to compromise the content of our press statement. The Labour Minister made it clear to us that government has heard our call and government has taken action. The word we have received from the Minister is that government has responded positively and that by Friday all the outstanding allowances, I mean all, that of our security men, drivers and any other allowances will hit the account of the judicial service of Ghana and payment will commence with our internal arrangement.”<\/p>\n
He however indicated that the wearing of red arm bands to signify their frustration and intentions still holds till Friday.<\/p>\n
“…Being law abiding people and people who respect authority, there is no way we should doubt the word of the Minister which was brought to us by government. We however gave them a condition that the only alteration we are going to make on our action plan, is to extend the wearing of arm bands till tomorrow and Friday.”<\/p>\n
