Here in Germany, thanks to the agreements with the works council, there is no forced overtime without proper agreement and the respective compensation.
Naturally not every company has such agreements in place, but even then, you are free to search for help on work law.
Same applies to several other countries.
Of course, the extent that people seek for help, depends on how much they can afford for support, or the consequences at the current employer if they eventually win. But all in all, most European law tends to be on employees side.
