Mr. Watanabe Makoto, who will protect who from what?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>If the former employee is speaking about the criminal charges and explaining the prospects of an arrest or lawsuit, it is necessary to verify that no one is inconvenienced by that action. The company\u2019s response to this matter is not just a matter of who should be held accountable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The explanation given by Mr. Watanabe, conveyed by a senior official from the Last One Mile, includes investment and tax-related issues for former officers and company employees. If the company recognizes this as a serious issue, I would appreciate it if you could provide specific plans for identifying those affected, preventing similar actions, and providing the necessary remedies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prudential provides a point of contact for determining compensation and showing progress.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Prudential Group will undergo an evaluation by the \u201cCustomer Compensation Committee\u201d independent of the Group, and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.prudential-hosho.jp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Special compensation procedures guide<\/a>It provides a system for receiving consultations, verifying facts, and proceeding to determine compensation and procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.prudential.co.jp\/news\/pdf\/1012\/20260724.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Publication material for July 24, 2026<\/a>So, I am explaining the progress of the review and compensation as of the 8th of the same month. It is important to note that this is not just an announcement of the establishment of a customer service center; it also provides a way to verify how far the process has progressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The relationship between the company and each act, the scope of liability, and the subject of compensation must be determined based on the facts. To make that determination, it is essential to first establish a place to receive complaints and a system for assigning responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are the company title and interpersonal relationships not being used as a basis for trust in investments?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The union has been questioning the company\u2019s role, relationships among executives and employees, and how business credit was used in soliciting investments from employees and suppliers in the last mile. Even in transactions in the name of individuals, without examining the company\u2019s involvement in the process, it is impossible to know from the actual explanation and actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Watanabe explains the former employee\u2019s actions as a serious matter, please check who received the solicitation, what was explained, and what company relationships were trusted. If the person who filed the complaint is afraid of repercussions at work or in their dealings, they cannot make a complete assessment based on the reported incident alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding the transactions described in the Maizukuzuka memo, it is necessary to check not only the person who received the funds but also the introducer, the person who explained the transaction, and the company\u2019s approval. Before highlighting the names of former executives, the company should explain what the company has verified to the person who believed in the transaction.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"swell-block-postLink\">\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/minnanounion.info\/en\/archives\/1290\" class=\"c-blogLink -internal\" data-style=\"slim\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n\t\t\t\t<!-- <i class=\"c-blogLink__icon icon-link\" role=\"presentation\"><\/i> -->\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"c-blogLink__icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"swl-svg-link __svg\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" viewbox=\"0 0 48 48\" role=\"img\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M21.2 30.2c-.5 0-1-.2-1.4-.6l-.7-.7c-2.3-2.3-3.5-5.3-3.5-8.5s1.2-6.2 3.5-8.5l7.1-7.1c2.3-2.3 5.3-3.5 8.5-3.5s6.2 1.2 8.5 3.5c4.7 4.7 4.7 12.3 0 17l-3.5 3.5c-.8.8-2 .8-2.8 0-.8-.8-.8-2 0-2.8l3.5-3.5c3.1-3.1 3.1-8.2 0-11.3-1.5-1.5-3.5-2.3-5.7-2.3-2.1 0-4.2.8-5.7 2.3l-7.1 7.1c-1.5 1.5-2.3 3.5-2.3 5.7s.8 4.2 2.3 5.7l.7.7c.8.8.8 2 0 2.8-.4.3-.9.5-1.4.5z\" \/><path d=\"M13.4 46.6c-3.1 0-6.1-1.2-8.5-3.5-2.3-2.3-3.5-5.3-3.5-8.5s1.2-6.2 3.5-8.5l3.5-3.5c.8-.8 2-.8 2.8 0 .8.8.8 2 0 2.8l-3.5 3.5c-1.5 1.5-2.3 3.5-2.3 5.7 0 2.1.8 4.2 2.3 5.7 3.1 3.1 8.2 3.1 11.3 0l7.1-7.1c1.5-1.5 2.3-3.5 2.3-5.7 0-2.1-.8-4.2-2.3-5.7l-.7-.7c-.8-.8-.8-2 0-2.8.8-.8 2-.8 2.8 0l.7.7c2.3 2.3 3.5 5.3 3.5 8.5s-1.2 6.2-3.5 8.5l-7.1 7.1c-2.3 2.3-5.3 3.5-8.4 3.5z\" \/><\/svg>\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"c-blogLink__text\">[Last One Mile Labor Union] Makoto Watanabe and the Board of Directors Must Demonstrate Consistency with Listing Documents<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preventing recurrence is not just about distributing training materials.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Prudential Life,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.prudential.co.jp\/news\/pdf\/1000\/20260422_1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Announcement on April 22, 2026<\/a>In it, I explain the revision of the basic design of the reward system, the strengthening of management of sales activities, a new customer support system, and the extension of the moratorium on new contract sales activities.

Management is needed to actually inspect private investment solicitation by officers and employees, the use of the company\u2019s communication channels and personnel, referral to business partners, and confirmation of conflicts of interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to impose a ban, please determine who will receive information about violations, who will investigate it, and how information about management will be handled.

Specifying exactly who and what was explained to each person will serve as material for considering individual responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just having conducted an initial disclosure does not end with confirming the damage or preventing recurrence. Mr. Watanabe would appreciate it if you could provide him with a plan for how to prevent damage from happening, rather than just giving him a forecast of who will be arrested. The explanation given by the management should not be limited to methods of intimidating the other party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"swell-block-button is-style-btn_line\"><a href=\"\/en\/list\/lastonemileunion\/\" class=\"swell-block-button__link\"><span>Last Mile Labor Union Home Page<\/span><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u5143\u5f79\u54e1\u306e\u72af\u7f6a\u306e\u5acc\u7591\u3092\u8a9e\u308a\u3001\u902e\u6355\u3084\u8a34\u8a1f\u306e\u898b\u901a\u3057\u3092\u8aac\u660e\u3059\u308b\u306e\u3067\u3042\u308c\u3070\u3001\u305d\u306e\u884c\u70ba\u306b\u3088\u3063\u3066\u56f0\u3063\u3066\u3044\u308b\u4eba\u304c\u3044\u306a\u3044\u304b\u3082\u3001\u78ba [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"swell_btn_cv_data":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1375","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-lastonemileunion"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/minnanounion.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1375","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/minnanounion.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/minnanounion.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/minnanounion.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/minnanounion.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1375"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/minnanounion.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1375\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1390,"href":"https:\/\/minnanounion.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1375\/revisions\/1390"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/minnanounion.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1375"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/minnanounion.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1375"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/minnanounion.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1375"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
