Well a medallion is just the US terminology for a plate, so it works in much the same way as across here:
Under the current scheme in place in New York City, more than 44,000 workers who drive the city's taxicabs are being blatantly exploited by a cartel of owners who have manipulated the system to deprive the drivers of income and benefits and to deny these workers the right to a union.
The system permits the owners of the city-authorized taxi medallions to "lease" the right to drive a yellow, medallion cab to workers who have been unfairly classified as "independent contractors." Drivers must pay as much as $130 a day for their "lease" and fuel costs. Under this sham arrangement, the owners can shirk responsibility for paying fair wages, benefits, social security payments and for supporting unemployment and workers compensation programs. Many drivers, working more than 12-hour shifts under difficult conditions, end the day taking home less than a minimum wage, with no wage or hour protections, no health, life, disability or unemployment insurance and no protection for their right to organize a union and have a voice in how they are treated on the job.
I think your exagerating.
