A: Hey there! Any idea about the news with Japan Post?
B: Nope, what's up?
A: Well, seems like they lost their permit for 2,500 delivery vehicles due to not doing mandatory checks - alcohol and health ones.
B: Oops, that sounds serious!
A: Yeah, an internal survey showed they didn't do it right at 75% of their post offices across Japan.
B: Whoa, that's a lot. What kind of checks were they supposed to do?
A: They were supposed to do alcohol and health checks for their delivery staff during roll calls. But it looks like many of them just didn't do it properly or even falsified the records.
B: Yikes! That's not good at all. So, what happens now?
A: Well, the government sent a letter to Japan Post's president revoking their permit for 2,500 trucks and vans for five years.
B: Wow, that must be tough on them. What will they do without those vehicles?
A: I think they'll have to find other ways to deliver things. But don't worry, the president said they'll take this seriously and work hard to make sure it doesn't happen again.
B: That's good to hear. And the government wants them to ensure safety for their more than 30,000 mini-vehicles too. They have some time to figure that out though.

Japan's transport ministry has revoked Japan Post's permit to operate about 2,500 delivery vehicles over the company's failure to properly conduct mandatory roll calls for its delivery personnel.
The roll calls are alcohol and health checks. An in-house survey by Japan Post in April revealed they were improperly carried out at 2,391 of its 3,188 post offices nationwide, or 75 percent of the total.
The transport ministry said it confirmed violations such as falsifying roll call records.
On Wednesday, it handed Japan Post President Senda Tetsuya a letter revoking the operation permit for delivery vehicles.
The company will be unable to use about 2,500 trucks and vans for delivery for five years.
Senda said his company will take the punishment seriously and that the firm's management will spearhead efforts to prevent a recurrence.
The ministry also issued an order to Japan Post to ensure the safety of its more than 30,000 delivery mini-vehicles, saying it will take time to assess their operation.
