Nope. Too late. Any chance of the company coming back with a better package vanished when the ballot closed on August 10th.

We had leverage until we handed them STV, foreign labor court immunity, a massive relocation cost cut, a cost recouping tax scheme reinforced by a GT blanket waiver which would allow basing in the tax haven.
The company negotiators had a BIG party that night!

They don't need anyone to bid it, but the left seats will fill anyway. What they don't fill with a system bid will be covered by STVs and they'll have two years to bring enough folks in to fill any holes remaining in the right seat.

The deal is done. The company won.
