        There was an "or" between the last two items. "And" was not the issue here.

        i read it as 'the packing for shipment or distribution' which means the 'and' is an issue

        Changing "or" to "and" would mean that a worker would have to do ALL of those items to be exempt from overtime... which makes it a completely useless clause became no one worker does all of them.

        Example: I need bread, milk, AND cheese. (I need all of these items) I need bread, milk, OR cheese. (I need only one of these 3 items)

        However, because the Oxford comma was missing, it left ambiguity to whether the "or" separated two distinct items in the list, or whether it was one item where either of those could apply, but not both.
