That depends on your contract with the company and the labour laws of the country in which you live.
This said, people working for a company have an investment in seeing that the company succeeds (or it will go bankrupt and you will lose your job) and asking you to do a bit of overtime in a crisis is a reasonable ask.

How come a struggling company like a and p allows some department managers to steel money and lots of it by making lots of overtime hours in sores were overtime is not allowed to any other employeel?
If you are correct that only managers are allowed overtime, then I would guess that the corporation feels that having managers work overtime pays off in the long run, that they will save the company more money than they get in overtime wages. They probably feel that other employees should not get overtime since that time usually doesn't pay off. Better to hire another employee than to have all employees trying for overtime.
