NEW YORK–Following a two-week hunger strike by a dozen cab drivers, the New York Taxi Workers Alliance (NYTWA), New York City, and Marblegate Asset Management—the company that bought the portfolio of taxi medallion loans from NCUA--have announced an agreement they said is aimed at helping ameliorate the crushing debt burden of many of the city’s approximately 6,000 medallion taxi owner-drivers.

SAN FRANCISCO—San Francisco Federal Credit Union has lost a lawsuit it filed against the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) related to loans made on taxi medallions.  Hailing the decision, the city attorney described the lawsuit as being about a “bank bailout.”

ALEXANDRIA, Va.–In a new Letter to Credit Unions, NCUA said any issuances of secondary capital not completed by Jan. 1 will be subject to the requirements of the new subordinated debt rule, which becomes effective on that date.
