Joan Davila, a former senior member of the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, has filed a lawsuit alleging she faced severe discrimination and retaliation while caring for her sick parents. After spending 40 years with the office, Davila claims that her health insurance was revoked, and she was subjected to harassment for discussing her father's death. Despite her attempts to seek help from supervisors, her complaints were ignored. Her lawyer argues that the DA's Office's actions violate anti-discrimination laws and undermine the principles of justice they are sworn to uphold.
Retaliation against Davila began in 2019 when she used paid family leave to care for her parents, highlighting a disturbing pattern of workplace discrimination that escalated in severity.
All this combined is because of the care of my parents,” Davila said of the alleged abuse she suffered. “There’s no empathy,” emphasizing the toxic environment at her workplace.
