72-year-old Sewage Treatment Plant Worker Get Paid $35,000 For Age Discrimination

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.
