Something that maybe a software engineer union could solve.

Something that a union would definitely solve. What are the banks gonna do? Fire every veteran and hire a team of underpaid newbs to manage their critical systems? If they were dumb enough to do that, let them save themselves millions a year by facing billions in losses... I'm sure that'll work out well.

Banks: Hold my beer!

And later blame it on the workers that unionized.

It only needs to work long enough for the current management to cash in on their savings. Then it's their successors problem.
