The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) has called off its indefinite strike and instructed members to resume work on Thursday, October 10.
This decision came after Organised Labour suspended its nationwide strike following the government’s commitment to address illegal mining, commonly known as galamsey.
President Akufo-Addo assured Organised Labour that the government would take serious measures to tackle the galamsey issue, which led to the strike being called off.
The development followed a meeting between the President and Organised Labour to discuss the urgent concerns surrounding illegal small-scale mining.
The government’s promise to combat galamsey played a key role in Organised Labour’s decision to end the strike.
“Respectfully, following Organised Labour’s engagement with the government and the enhanced measures announced to combat illegal mining, Organised Labour, in its emergency meeting held on October 9, 2024, resolved to suspend the indefinite strike,” read a statement.
As a result, JUSAG’s National Executive Council (NEC) has also suspended its strike, directing all Judicial Service employees to report back to work on Thursday, October 10, in line with Organised Labour’s decision.
Meanwhile, despite other unions ending their strikes, the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) at the University of Ghana has opted to continue its industrial action.
