72-year-old diesel engine mechanic, James Yu was paid $35,000 by the city of San Jose to settle his complaint of age discrimination.
James Yu filed a suit with EEOC in 2001 after an overnight position he interviewed for was left unfilled in 2001, claiming that he was denied a promotion because his superiors feared he would die on the overnight shift.
The city also agreed to train managers at the San Jose/Santa Clara water pollution and control plant in Alviso on how to avoid age discrimination.

Governor Signs Minimum Wage Raise Into Law
Gov. Mike Easley signed a bill that raises the state's minimum wage by one dollar to $6.15 per hour in North Carolina.
It's the first increase since 1997 in North Carolina. The current minimum wage in North Carolina is $ 5.15 per hour, same as the federal rate.
"In North Carolina, we are setting the bar high and we are changing our economy,? Easley said. "We are building a better workforce by providing the knowledge, talent and skill our citizens need to succeed in the global marketplace. This higher level of education is bringing in high-paying jobs, but raising the minimum wage helps our people make the needed transition to this new economy."
The new minimum wage will take effect in January, and more than 100,000 workers will get a raise.
