Work resumed today [Tuesday] at Ghana’s Supreme Court despite the strike by the Judicial Service Staff Association (JUSSAG).<\/p>\n

Justices of the court sat and heard two different cases which included one of the suits by Justice Paul Dery brought against investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas.<\/p>\n

Today’s hearings had two JUSSAG members at post even though their association has been on an indefinite strike.<\/p>\n

Reports indicate that the two were ordered by the management of the court to return to work.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”deZVVUWeFYJgh2779n6Ldtx6d8ihMy6k”]JUSSAG embarked on an industrial strike last week over what they say is government\u2019s failure to implement the consolidation of salaries and allowances for its members after over a year of forwarding its request to government.<\/p>\n

JUSSAG strike illegal<\/strong><\/p>\n

But the National Labour Commission (NLC) has described the strike as illegal.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Citi News<\/strong>, the newly appointed Executive Secretary of NLC, Lawyer Charles Adongo Bawa Duah said the strike is illegal because JUSSAG failed to give the NLC prior notice before embarking on the strike.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Commission came to the conclusion that the intended strike was illegal and must not take place\u2026by the provisions of the Labour Act, any organization, worker or union which intends to embark on a strike must notify the Labour Commission not later than seven days before the strike . Now it was clear that JUSSAG had not served any notice so the Commission decided that by failing to notify the appropriate authority, their [JUSSAG] strike was illegal,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
