A 40-year veteran of the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office faced cruel discrimination and retaliation at work while she cared for her ailing elderly parents, a new lawsuit claims. Joan Davila, the demoted former head of the office’s crucial extradition office, suffered years of “caretaker discrimination, retaliation and harassment” — including the temporary revoking of her health-insurance coverage and being told to stop talking about her recently deceased dad, according to her suit and an exclusive interview with The Post. 5 Joan Davila, who has worked in the Manhattan DA’s Office for nearly 40 years, is now bringing a lawsuit against her bosses, who she says retaliated against her because of her caretaker status for her ailing parents.
