My Place Of Employment (civil service job) Orders Its Workers To Work On Their Day Off Every Other Week.....I Am A Single Mother Of A Six Year Old Boy And I'm Tired Of This.....I Have A Household To Run And A Child To Bond With While Holding Down A Full Time Job That Orders Me In Whenever They Feel Like It And If I Don't Come In I Risk Discipline And Get Written Up. Are There Any Laws Against This? What Good Excuse Can I Use Besides Doctor Appointment To Cover My A.ss?

If your Union is not following its own negotiated rules - you may want to seek out your local National Labor Relations Board - if 'mandatory overtime' is not in your contract, you can file charges
And the responder 'Barry" is just a jealous jerk who needs to get a clue, no respect for the Moms who are also the Dads because they, the Dads are whiney children themselves...have you paid child support lately Barry?

There is no law against it it is just the way business is. Have not stated if you are union, if so forced overtime is in the contract and that all goes by seniority. Only way out is to get a different job

Awww, you single moms are such a bunch of whiners.
You have a civil service job, which practically guarantees you a gool pay and benefits for life, a good retirement plan, liberal vacation and sick days, and you;re complaining about mandatory overtime ( for which you probably get paid.)
Give us a break.

There are probably folks at your work who desperately need the hours. Can you get out of it if someone else will take your hours?

a; FIND employers who do not have
this type of enforced work time
and
b; consider being self-employed.
c; sometimes, it is gutsy but you have
to leave a secured job to see more clearly.

Have you asked your boss if you can decline this "mandatory overtime"? If you tell your boss your situation, perhaps they could exclude you.
