JUSAG suspends strike

The Judicial Service Staff Association (JUSAG) has called off its strike.

This was after the Acting Chief Justice assured them in a meeting that their concerns will be forwarded to the judicial council, the association said in a statement.

“The Acting Chief Justice has approved that the issues raised at the said meeting will be forwarded to the Judicial Council. In view of the above, we have resolved to suspend our industrial strike action with immediate effect,” the statement said.

Earlier they defied a call by the justicial secretary to call off the strike.

“The National Executive Council of JUSAG have sighted a press statement by the Judicial Secretary dated 13th November 2019.

We, RESPECTFULLY, disagree with the position taken by Management. Our members shall remain on strike until further notice”.
