Unfortunately the US has comically weak enforcement of labor laws. I've experienced and heard many examples of this from over the years including managers asking employees to clock-out and finish their work. While that is illegal, the State is completely ineffective in protecting workers who file complaints.
Amazon itself is currently being sued for failing to provide required breaks. They are infamous for making it hard to even go to the bathroom. That would never fly at my shop.
Of course, that's just one example. I also love that management can't just shift more and more responsibility onto me to save money or arbitrarily increase the complexity of my work without an increase in pay.

I don't know which state you're in, but this is absolutely not true where I grew up. A complaint to the state labor board brought the hammer down ASAP. The people who enforce these things absolutely love to have something to track down.
