So, no matter the level of pressure, etc - in the end, they could indeed opt to not volunteer to do so, and look around for another work place that doesn`t push them to break the law. If they are whining about having to work without pay - in the end, it is their own choice.

Of course, my colleagues were heavily pressured to
volunteer by superiors to take on these extra duties.
So they could opt out to not volunteer, but even I was "strongly encouraged" to "volunteer" to help out a couple clubs during summer break. It was pretty clear to me that my "volunteering" was not an option if I wanted to have my yearly contract renewed. Illegal or not, it happens.
