My first gut response to this headline was basically just straight-up victim blaming, because it’s easy to see bankers (who are typically well paid) as being immune from the capitalist bullshit that the majority of us face.

That was a silly instinct though, because whilst bankers may benefit from some privilege within the system, headlines like this highlight the need for broad solidarity. Hell, reminding these bankers how “fortunate” they are is probably one of the key driving forces of keeping people in line — convince people that they’re lucky, and that the oppression they face at this rung of the ladder is far better than what those on lower rungs face. “Precariat” is a broad category.
