Is it legal for the company I work for to make us do something not in our job description?

For a while now, once a week my team has had to help out some people that have an entirely different and much shittier job that makes a couple dollars an hour more than we do. We don’t get increased pay for our time in there. There’s absolutely nothing in the offer letter I signed for my current position about helping in other places, and there isn’t the “other duties as assigned” bullshit. I wouldn’t mind if the job didn’t leave my back hurting and allergies inflamed basically every week. I don’t have much hope that there’s a fix for this because workers in the US have basically no power, but I figured I’d ask just in case there was something I could do to get myself and my fellow employees out of this situation.
