I'm not sure what clarity you expect me to gain by reading the contract.

I'm kind of assuming that an exact total hourly figure for an average employee is not directly quoted in the contract anywhere.

It is my assumption that the $76/hour UAW figure is a vague, yet tearful, press release from corporate OEM.

Part of what I'm trying to say is that I would like to see how OEM arrived at the seemingly astounding $76/hr(thereabouts) figure.
