It's part of why I have moved on from "more trade unions is the most important thing." Yes unionization is important and more unions is better than the fewer unions in every way, but they can easily be a dead end. Between the horrible laws in the US that restrict union activity and the reactionary thinking of "fuck you what's in it for me" that is standard to Americans, there's only so much unions can do.
It's why I think a revolutionary workers' party is necessary that works closely with unions but isn't beholden to them.
Unfortunately that plot point is not viable post 9/11. 9/11 had a huge impact on the financial industry in many ways, one of them being digitizing and making extensive backups for all its records. So many records of financial transactions were lost in 9/11 that the industry starting taking file security seriously. While totally valid in the time of Fight Club, you'd need to combine it with some major hacking to be effective.
