A matter of Interpretation, The Employment Act?

Question

I seek the internet community's feedback on this statement listed in the employment act. (9) This section shall not apply to employees engaged in the fire services or in work which by its nature involves long hours of inactive or stand-by employment.
Your feedback is required on the jobs that fit this statement. The authorities have no clue and says that it does not fit a watchman or a security guard. This I disagree, Can the community shed some light on this. The authorities say it covers airline crew. I believe they are unsure and will not dwell in this as they have no clue as to what it means? I am certain that many are not well verse in the act at all. Care to comment?

Answer 1

I would concur with you. I would challenge it in court if I had some kind of reson to use it. Seeing as how no-one seems to know the correct interpretation, you yourself cannot be wrong in yours can you? Therefore, you could very well set a precedent! Good luck with it!
