This is a response to a push to unionize and legislate protections. They don’t just want to do this, they want to show that lots of their drivers support it instead of the alternative, and get their drivers to lobby against the legislation and reject unionization.

Yes and no. Unionization would result in unions negotiating against Uber independently. As the dominant player I can see how unions would negotiate harder against Uber than (say) Lyft. A law would mean Uber/lyft/etc. would all have the same playing field - which is better for Uber.
