Grettel Rodríguez

Grettel Rodríguez is a legal manager at Grant Thornton, a firm specializing in tax matters. She has been vocal about the bureaucratic challenges facing independent workers in Costa Rica, particularly criticizing the Costa Rican Social Security Fund (CCSS) for what she describes as excessive and discriminatory practices that discourage individuals from formalizing their independent work. Rodríguez highlights the difficulties many face when trying to comply with the CCSS regulations, which often lead to the accumulation of insurmountable debts and contribute to the rise of informal employment.
