The New York Taxi Workers Alliance (NYTWA) announced Monday that they will be seeking millions of dollars’ worth of damages after an unconstitutional Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) protocol left drivers with unjustly suspended licenses.
In 2019, a federal appeals court ruled a policy that revoked arrested taxi drivers’ licenses was unconstitutional following a 15-year court battle. Now NYTWA are calling on the city to “put things right.”
