Judge Guilherme Gonçalves Strenger, candidate for the presidency of the Court of Justice of São Paulo (TJSP), wants to boost the salaries of judges even more. The website metropolises released the information on Monday, 24.
The TJSP elections are scheduled for November 8. Strenger is the vice president of the current president, Judge Ricardo Anafe. He will dispute the command of the Court against the General Inspector Fernando Torres Garcia.

“Nothing has our court to hide or to be ashamed of,” Strenger said. According to the report, the judge sent the judges of the Court a long letter full of promises of “improvement of financial condition” for the magistrates.

In the letter, the judge proposed privileges such as the additional payment for length of service, including retroactive payments. He also wants to guarantee assistance for excess collections, with breaks to compensate for the “supported workload”.
Strenger still has among his campaign proposals the “energetic response” to eventual media criticism. Regarding the salaries of judges, he said in a letter to the judges that it is “the time to address the salary financial issue and other issues, in an open, direct and objective way”.

The judge promised that, if elected, the “priority” of his “management will be the improvement of the financial condition of all magistrates, active and retired”. He promised to work to ensure “financial security for the magistrate”.
“To this end, if elected, in the first week of the term, I will send to all magistrates, active and retired, a schedule of payment of supplementary sheets, encompassing every month, without interruption, in amounts never lower, but higher than those currently paid”, said Strenger.
Today, the grant is 10% of the judges’ salary. Strenger wants to increase to 33%. He also said that he will impose “compensation days for those who exceed the constitutional ceiling, as a way of repaying all magistrates for the workload borne above what would be required of them, in accordance with the request that I have already presented to the current presidency”.

The judge also promised the judges the release of the payment of retroactive amounts related to the irreducibility portion and the additional for length of service (ATS). The benefit is paid every five years, without any performance evaluation of the magistrate, just for completing half a decade in court.
This trinket had been dropped by the National Council of Justice (CNJ) for two decades, but it is being reestablished by courts throughout Brazil. The return has been made, just as Strenger promised, with retroactive payments for the time the benefit was suspended.
Today, a judge officially receives up to R$ 41.6 thousand, the constitutional ceiling that is linked to the remuneration of ministers of the Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF). However, in real life, half of the country’s judges earn above the ceiling, more than STF ministers.
