JUSAG declares indefinite strike from Wednesday November 13

Accra, Nov. 12, GNA – The Judicial Service
Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG), has declared its intention of embarking on
an indefinite industrial action from Wednesday, November 13, 2019.

The action is to back their demand for the
assenting and implementation of the report by the Committee set up by the
Judicial Council over salary reviews and negotiations for the staff of the
Service.

A statement signed, and copied to the Ghana
News Agency by Mr Alex Nartey, the National President of JUSAG, said since the
intention of the action was disclosed in a letter, issued on November 1, 2019,
there had been numerous meetings with Management and the National Labour
Commission.

Meanwhile, all efforts by the leadership of
JUSAG to receive copies of the requisite reports had proved futile.

The statement explained that after a meeting
of the leadership with the National Labour Commission on November 11, 2019, it
also had a meeting with the Association’s Regional Executives and rank and
file.

After the meeting was held, members of the
Association were given approval to proceed accordingly, since they had complied
with the procedures under the 1992 Constitution regarding their conditions of
service, the statement said.  

“In view of the above, the leadership of
JUSAG is left with no option than to declare an indefinite strike action to
demand the assenting and implementation of the Judicial Council Committee’s
report.”

According to the statement, no staff or
member of JUSAG shall report to work on Wednesday November 13, 2019 and until
the implementation of the report, no staff or member of JUSAG shall report to
work.

However, it said, the Security Personnel of
the Judicial Service shall report to work to protect lives and property.

It called on all staff and members of JUSAG
to comply with the above directives and stay tuned for further notice.
