Why temp agencies are so shady?

Living in California and temp agencies seem so popular. Especially the ones that focus on hospitality, like when a hotel or event needs more servers or universities, etc. Some pay ok, like $20+ but always at the risk of being sabotaged in a way. They somehow seem to be always getting away with not paying overtime. I joined this agency because they had a lot of catering work and coworkers told me while it's W-2, they never seem to pay overtime but it's OK because they get work. Ugh agency claimed that I was late 30 mins, which I was not and they gave me a warning and haven't given me any work lol. So yeah what's up with those?
