On January 12, 2021, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and four app-based drivers sued the state government in the California Supreme Court, seeking to have Proposition 22 declared unconstitutional and unenforceable.[6]
Bob Schoonover, president of SEIU California, said, "Prop. 22 doesn't just fail our state rideshare drivers, it fails the basic test of following our state constitution. The law as written by Uber and Lyft denies drivers rights under the law in California and makes it nearly impossible for lawmakers to fix these problems."
Kathy Fairbanks, a spokesperson for the campaign behind Proposition 22, cited a statement from an app-based driver, which said, "Meritless lawsuits that seek to undermine the clear democratic will of the people do not stand up to scrutiny in the courts."[
