The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) has called off its 10-day old strike with immediate effective.

According to JUSAG, the decision to call off the strike is to aid government’s presidential committee to begin deliberations.

JUSAG President Alex Nartey addressing the media Wednesday said the National Executive Committee of JUSAG has concluded on a framework with government and management in addressing their demands.

The leadership of JUSAG on May 19 declared an indefinite nationwide strike over delays in the implementation of the consolidated salaries and emoluments of their members.

The National Labour Commission (NLC) subsequently filed a writ in court to compel members of the Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) to end what it described as “a lawless” strike but JUSAG called their bluff and continued with their strike.
