The National Labour Commission (NLC) has summoned the Judicial Service and the Ministry of Finance in response to a looming strike by the Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) over unpaid salary arrears.
The intervention follows a strike notice issued by JUSAG concerning the non-payment of eight months’ salary arrears covering January to August 2025. In a letter dated January 14, 2026, the NLC confirmed receipt of the notice and invoked its powers under the Labour Act to demand a status update on the outstanding payments within three working days.
The Commission has also scheduled a hearing for January 21, 2026, and advised JUSAG to suspend any planned industrial action while mediation efforts continue.
