Contract Deep Read & Summary
AI Generated
⚠ Covers the August 2026 offer only — may not reflect September 11 terms
A close read of the full August 2026–2030 proposal — including every side letter — plus a plain-language summary and an at-a-glance table of what was changing versus the 2020–2026 agreement. Written for the Professional unit; Technical unit members may still find it a useful reference.
Provenance: entirely AI-generated, grounded in the proposal text and side letters supplied to it, with extensive citations back to the source language so you can check it yourself. Not independently verified line-by-line by a human — treat it as a well-sourced starting point, not a final word.
An interactive calculator built around the September 11 offer's structure — a 10% immediate wage increase, a flat 4% raise for everyone in 2027, then a rating-differentiated pool (4% guaranteed minimum) from 2028–2030. Compare it side by side against SPEEA's own published calculator. Built for both Professional and Technical units.
Provenance: the analysis, numbers, and logic were built by Chris Smith by hand, then checked and formatted with AI assistance. The substance is human work — errors here are human errors, not AI hallucination — so it should still be checked against your own numbers.
Not tied to any specific contract offer — a standing reference for where your salary sits against the published 2026 charts.
Salary Chart Comparison Tool
Human + AI
An interactive tool for seeing where a given salary falls against every published 2026 salary chart — built from the actual chart data, not estimates. Covers both the Professional and Technical units by design.
Provenance: every 2026 salary chart was downloaded and the data was extracted directly off the charts with a locally-run Python script into CSV files, which is what the tool is built on. The explanatory text and the positioning methodology were AI-suggested, but the full math behind it is laid out in the tool's appendix and has held up to human review. The tool itself — its construction and validation — is otherwise human-generated.
Found something that looks off, or have a question about how one of these tools works? I'd rather hear about it than have it sit wrong. I've got a day job too, same as you, so it might take a few hours to get back to you — but I will.
