The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) and the Senior Staff Association of the Judicial Service of Ghana (SSAJUG) have suspended their industrial action following negotiations with the Judicial Service management.
In a press release dated November 9, 2026, the Judicial Service announced that an agreement had been reached with the leadership of both associations, paving the way for staff to return to work with immediate effect.
It announced that all courts nationwide would resume normal sittings on Tuesday, November 10.
“Following productive discussions between the leadership of the Associations and the Management of the Judicial Service, a mutual understanding has been reached. Consequently, all staff are expected to resume their duties with immediate effect,” the statement said.
The suspension comes after the industrial action disrupted court proceedings and affected access to judicial services nationwide.
The Judicial Service regretted the inconvenience caused and apologised to the President, the Executive, Parliament, the legal profession and the general public, particularly those who rely on the courts for judicial services.
“We offer our most sincere apologies to His Excellency the President and the Executive arm of Government, the Honourable Speaker and Members of Parliament, the legal profession, and, most importantly, the general public and all court users, for the undue inconvenience experienced during this period,” the statement said.
The Judicial Service reiterated its commitment to ensuring the efficient and timely delivery of justice, while thanking stakeholders for their patience as discussions continued towards a lasting resolution of the concerns raised.
JUSAG and SSAJUG embarked on the industrial action over concerns about the approval and implementation of revised salaries and conditions of service.
