The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSSAG) has threatened to lay down its tools if government fails to address its salary concerns by May 18.

The Judicial service workers called off a similar nationwide strike following a crunch meeting with officials from the Ministry of Labour and Employment.

Staff of the judiciary had declared an indefinite strike over the failure of government to implement the consolidation of their salaries beginning the 1st of April 2016.

The judicial service workers later agreed to resume operations after assurance by the labour minister Haruna Iddrisu to address their concerns.

However, two months and some few days into the Minister's promise, General Secretary of JUSSAG, Derrick Annan said their grievances have still not been addressed.

"We called off the strike based on some assurances from the government. We’ve had some progress except that as at present we don’t see government’s position on our request.

"So we’ve written to the government respectfully afford the government the opportunity to respond. With respect to the 18 May date that is the time that we are expecting that the government would have communicated something to us," he said.

"If by that time we’ve not heard anything then the saying goes: when we get, we will cross," Mr. Annan added.
