Am by law obligated to attend a work meeting?
I received this email from my management about a scheduled team meeting.
The issue is that the meeting is scheduled to end one hour after my shift finishes, and the company doesn't pay overtime.
The main thing they've asked everyone to prepare is three ways we think the business can become more profitable or efficient, along with any questions, concerns, or feedback.
Here's the email:

Am I being unreasonable for expecting to either be paid for the extra hour or be allowed to leave when my shift ends? If a meeting extends beyond scheduled working hours, should that time be paid or am I able to leave when my shift ends?
I'm also curious what others think about being asked to come up with ideas to improve the company's profitability during unpaid time. Has anyone dealt with something similar?
