3. setting a condition of employment of working more than 40 hours is legal
in most places that I am aware of.

Indeed, everytime I turn around some company has set yet another GOP type "condition of employment".

It only lets them fire you more easily - with less cost on their unemployment premium.

The idea that folks rejecting overtime will force more hires is cute - today you year-end bonus is being allowed to work after the end of the year - and the response to saying no to overtime would be "a way will be found" to fire you - assuming you are non-union.
