Usually companies are pretty strict about service overtime for part-timers and haken (especially haken as the agency will come after them demanding money). When I was a temp, they would literally make us leave and I knew of a few people who wanted to do overtime but weren't allowed to. Working as a part-timer was the same - they wanted us out of there.
Easy to say when you're not the one who might lose his job for speaking up.
I do think that one of the problems in Japan though is that a lot of people say "shoganai" when they get screwed by their employers instead of actually standing up for their rights. Labor law is pretty clear and the courts tend to be labor friendly.
The excuse I get from most in this situation is "warukuchi" from them when it comes to their next employer. Prospective employers not wanting a "troublemaker" who dared to demand what they were legally and contractually obliged to receive. I think the "mendokusai" factor is the real reason behind pursuing shit like this but what they fail to realize is it's also mendokusai for the employer and probably quite embarrassing to be taken to court.
