You cannot ask staff to work for free! If he insists you work a 10 day fortnight, then you will have to get paid for that extra day - which should be over time as anything over a 38 hour week is overtime.
Sure he can insist, but that doesn't mean you have to.
As for working extra hours and not being paid there is a simple solution to that too, don't work the extra hours. If GM kicks up a stink you can pull out your contract and show him what has been agreed to. If he argues the matter further find out who your union is and speak to them.
GM's like yours often resort to bullying tactics, so stand firm, be prepared to pull out and highlight your contract documentation and worst case scenario go to your union and report it.
