JUSAG meeting with Employment Minister ends inconclusively

The remuneration resolution meeting held between
the Judicial Service Workers Association of Ghana
(JUSAG) and the Ministry of Employment and Labour
Relations over the recent indefinite strike of the
former has ended inconclusively.


JUSAG last Friday declared an indefinite
nationwide strike over delays in the
implementation of the consolidated salaries and
emoluments of its members.

This was despite an assurance by the Ministry that
JUSAG would be paid only when President John
Dramani Mahama approves it.

Tuesday’s meeting was held to bring the two
sides to a middle ground to resolve the strike
action that has resulted in the closure of courts
across the country.

A second leg of the meeting has bee scheduled to
be held on Thursday, May 26.

This was made known by the President of JUSAG,
Alex Nartey, in a telephone interview with Onua FM
a few hours after the meeting.

JUSAG’s leadership had earlier rejected
negotiations with government over the consolidated
salaries, insisting that implementation was the
way forward having done negotiations last year.

Speaking to Onua FM, Mr Nartey revealed that JUSAG
made progress at Tuesday’s meeting, hoping for a
conclusion on Thursday.

“The meeting with the Minister of Employment and
Labour Relations has ended successfully with no
discrepancies. We made some strides but couldn’t
conclude on things. We are waiting for Thursday to
achieve that,” he said.

He, therefore, assured Ghanaians to exercise
restraint since his outfit was working around the
clock to address the issues and bring happenings
to normalcy.
