A 30-year-old factory worker, May, at Delta Electronics Thailand tragically died after her request for sick leave was denied.
Despite having medical leave from September 5-9 for an inflamed large intestine, her condition worsened on September 12, but her manager instructed her to return to work. May collapsed after 20 minutes and later succumbed to complications from necrotising enterocolitis.
Delta Electronics expressed deep regret and announced a full investigation into her death, emphasizing their commitment to transparency and support for her family during this difficult time. The incident has sparked discussions on employee welfare and medical leave policies.
