The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSSAG) has said it is proceeding with its strike after talks with government failed to resolve their issues.<\/p>\n

JUSSAG announced a strike following\u00a0government\u2019s failure to approve\u00a0their reviewed salaries and allowances despite an agreement to that effect.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”A1lrtWIexSDfJFNUyz8nglpmi82ZJDLh”]According to\u00a0the General Secretary of JUSSAG,\u00a0Derrick Annan, in spite of two separate meetings with government officials, no definitive solution has been found.<\/p>\n

“After we declared the strike we have met government; on Tuesday, the meeting was not conclusive, on Thursday, we had some form of deliberation. As at now, we have not received anything concrete, or any official letter from government to help us convince our members as to the way forward,” he said.<\/p>\n

Derrick Annan added the failure of the government to honour its assurances to JUSSAG had compelled the Association to extend its strike.<\/p>\n

“At the moment we cannot help but to remain on strike. Government assured us that we would receive some form of correspondence. At this moment, there\u2019s nothing from government,” he noted.<\/p>\n

NLC fumes<\/strong><\/p>\n

The National Labour Commission (NLC) has insisted that the strike by JUSSAG is illegal as the Association\u00a0\u00a0did not serve due notice of their intentions.<\/p>\n

The Labour Commission filed a lawsuit \u00a0seeking an order to compel workers of the Judicial Service to call off their strike.<\/p>\n

JUSSAG has however stated it will remain resolute despite the legal action because they are convinced the strike is in accordance with provisions of the labour law which required them to notify the Labour Commission not later than seven days before the action.<\/p>\n
