Does this action violate the terms of a union agreement or employment contract? Does it constitute some form of legally actionable discrimination? If not then, it is perfectly permissable under the law. The fact is that most employment is "at will" which menans that a company can set the conditions of the workplace much as it sees fit. This includes requiring employees to work an extra shift. For their part, these employees can either comply with the mandate, complain and risk termination, or quit.
