Employees work for a medical device company, it is shift work, they are full-time hourly ~20/hr employees (not contingent workers). They get time and a half for OT.

I do not see an issue with requiring to work OT unless only a certain group of employees or your being targeted for a particular reason. If the time is required you should review your leave policy, termination rules, etc, but my gut is that they can do that as well unless other are allowed to get away with it as well.
Basically seems fine they can do this unless there is more to the story. You can always speak to an employment attorney to explore all options, facts and laws.
