The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSSAG), has said it is continuing with its strike despite making some headway in its negotiations with government.

The Minister of Employment and Labour Relations, Haruna Iddrisu, on Monday expressed optimism that JUSSAG might call off its strike by close of day today [Tuesday].

The Association has indicated its willingness to end the impasse, until it receives clarity from government on the way forward.

JUSSAG has been on strike for the past two weeks over government's failure to implement the consolidation of salaries and allowances for its members, more than a year after their request was forwarded for implementation.

Speaking to the media after a national executive meeting today [Tuesday], the National President of JUSSAG, Alex Nartey, said the association is awaiting government’s definite response before calling off the strike.

The strike has affected justice delivery in the country’s courts.
