California is a single party state with a supermajority of delegates. This means that Democrats can pass pretty much any law that they want without any real opposition.
The unions in California are unhappy with Uber/Lyft employees not being union members since their presence is an alternative (read danger) to some of the unions (teamsters/taxis).
