CEO announced my department has to work 50 hour work weeks, with no overtime or salary adjustments starting immediately

Title tells the gist of it. I work in a quality control lab as a chemist. My department is salary exempt and has been already working de facto 50 hour weeks due to 25% of our lab being fired. Now, we are required to work 50-hour weeks with no salary adjustment, bonus, or overtime. Is this legal? Currently, over half of the remaining analysts are looking for new employment if this is implemented. (The cherry on top, this is right after we went to a quarterly meeting and listened to our CEO ramble about how the company is making record profits)
