Retirement with 25 years of contribution

With the intention of guaranting the rigths of our filiated, the Dentists Trade Union of the State of São Paulo achieved a great victory for our class. Since June, the 7th, 2010, the dentists of our territory basis may ask for retirement with 25 years of contribution to Social Security.

The Injunction Mandate 1669 had as writter the minister of the Superior Federal Court (STF), Celso de Mello. In his report, the minster explains that the concession of the injunctional order is to guarantee “to each member of the group, class or category, the right to have his request of special retirement concretely analized by competent administrative authority, observed, for such, what disposes the article 57 of the Law 78.213/91”.

With the decision, it will be benefited the 60 thousand filiated to SOESP. Until 1994, this rigth was valid for the category because it was understood as an unhealthy profession. Therefore, an activity which exposes the professional to agents nocives to health.

However, an equivocated revision altered the rule. But, in 2008, we entered with an Injunction Mandade at the STF to fill this blank at the refered law. After two years of analisys and debate, the Superior gave us gain of cause.

This victory is the result of the new philosofy adopted by the Trade Union at the last three years, which is an more active organ in the search for the rights of the dentists at the state of São Paulo. Our Trade Union is changed, and for better.
