Hotel owners are typically a bit above minimum wage.
- chii 13y agoare you saying that being on minimum wage is a justification for violence?
- roma1n 13y agoFrench cab drivers are typically way above minimum wage...

The independents still paying their medallion ("plaque de taxi", valued at about 240k €) are strangled by debt, and those that are employee are barely above minimum wage. It's pretty obvious to everyone that dropping the medallion system is the way forwards, but is there any example anywhere of dropping the medallion system in a fair manner for those that actually bought their medallion recently? Also, another thing I'm pretty concerned about is the qualification of non taxi drivers. The taxi license is actually very hard to get, I'm not so sure of what Uber requires of its drivers...
- icebraining 13y agois there any example anywhere of dropping the medallion system in a fair manner for those that actually bought their medallion recently? Why not just return their money?
