Generally, yes. If your job requires you to work extra hours and you are unable or unwilling to do so, the company has a right to replace you with someone who can or will work the extra hours. There are exceptions, like union contracts, some state laws or if you live in France, then absolutely not, you are employed for life...

It can come under 'other duties as assigned.' If you are in an at will state, with an at will employer, they can fire you 'at will.' Not working overtime is something they could use. If you have a legitimate reason, talk to the supervisor and ask if you could do it another night, or explain that due to your schedule outside of work, you took this employment because of the work hours listed. Just be tactful and open to compromise, if possible. If it's not possible, consider changing jobs.

If a company wants to fire you they sure can find a way to do it. I know because I have been fired from more than one. Twice I refused to do a job that I knew was dangerous because they had removed the safety shields. They fired me for other reasons that were difficult to disprove. Once I was fired and with good cause because i got to familiar with one of the office girls. Getting fired never bothered me. There is so much out there to do that jobs were never difficult to find for me. Good ones as well. In the USA if a person has any drive at all there are plenty of good jobs to do.

Of course you can. There is no law stating that an employer can only require you to work 40 hours a week and that's it. If you are paid hourly, there are laws about how much you are paid for additional hours. If you are salaried there's even less regulation.

No, it's illegal. You cannot be forced to work anything over you scheduled hours. Look at your labor laws next time you go to work.
