General News of Thursday, 15 January 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe National Labour Commission (NLC) has summoned the Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) and the Minister of Finance to appear before it on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, at 2:00 PM, following JUSAG’s threat to embark on a nationwide strike. The summons comes after JUSAG issued a notice of intended industrial action on January 13, 2026, warning that its members would lay down their tools from January 19, 2026, if outstanding salary arrears are not paid. In a letter dated January 14, 2026, the NLC confirmed receipt of the strike notice and invoked its mandate under Section 139 of the Labour Act, 2003 (Act 651) to intervene. The association insists that repeated engagements with the relevant authorities have failed to yield results, prompting its decision to notify the commission of its intention to strike. “With this intervention, the association is advised to stay the intended action(s) and appear as scheduled,” the statement said.
