OAED Zakynthos, Zakynthians claim is a complete disappointment.

Frustrated and annoyed are many unemployed people on our island who have spent Christmas and New Year holidays without financial help waiting in vain to receive their unemployment benefit and Christmas gift from OAED. As our unemployed fellow citizens complain, to our local newspaper HMERA, even though many had registered in October, they have not seen a single euro enter into their bank account, nor have they received a gift for the holidays. Even declaring attendance at OAED is required regularly and even more one has to wait hours in line to be served. The process is time consuming and even more frustrating. In fact, many are forced to wait long hours in the cold. The situation becoming disheartening for themselves, when they only want to get the money they deserve.

 

OAED employees respond …

What the OAED employees say is that the main problem of the local branch is the lack of staff, since they are unable to meet their obligations. While also waiting for the headquarters to make the necessary procedures to speed up duties in order to pay those who are entitles to beneficiaries and have not received money over the previous months.

 

Intervention and employee licenses

Recall that on Friday, the MP of Zakynthos D. Aktypis visited the OAED office and asked to be thoroughly informed about the reasons why the services are slow, discomforting to so many of our fellow citizens, and even depriving them of the right to make a decent living. . The official response of the staff was limited to the fact that the OAED staff is not sufficient to serve the citizens effectively. However, as noted, many Members of the Annex are currently on leave from Christmas Eve, despite the fact that their presence is necessary for the proper and unobtrusive operation of OAED services.

The MP speaking with the Director Executive of OAED, Mr. S. Protopsaltis, called to immediately improve the quality and efficiency of the services provided by OAED Zakynthos. After the Member’s telephone communication with Mr Protopsaltis, the second stated that solving the problems of OAED Zakynthos is a priority for the OAED administration, but also for himself, since the particular branch is almost inoperative, causing them to be in trouble for example with the citizens of Zakynthos. Mr. Protopsaltis committed himself to monitoring daily the progress of the work of OAED Zakynthos, in order to ensure the proper operation of the local store. The MP and the Director Executive agreed that the situation in OAED Zakynthos is at least unprecedented. That is why all the necessary steps must be taken in order for OAED Zakynthos to operate with the main focus on better, more efficient and faster service to citizens. Finally, the MP said that the issue of the overall improvement of OAED Zakynthos services would be raised by himself and the responsible Minister, Mr. Broutsis, at an upcoming meeting between them.
