Costa Rica’s Constitutional Chamber ordered the government to halt the discretionary appointment of a union representative to the board of the Costa Rican Social Security Fund, known as the CCSS.
The court suspended the effects connected to the disputed position while it considers a legal action filed on behalf of Rocío Alfaro Molina. It also ordered that no third person be appointed to the post during the review.
The decision leaves the union seat unresolved until the chamber rules on the appeal. The case concerns the government’s discretionary power to select the unions’ representative on the CCSS board.
