No, at AA. I work in the US and if I ever have to work on the weekend we get flex time (extra vacation days) at least 1:1 for hours worked, if not a little better. Come in for 6 hours over the weekend? Take an extra day off, not unusual at all. And we still don't have this ridiculous red tape of being "allowed" to work on the weekends.
It varies more company to company than it does from US to European. Many of the companies I've worked for have nearly European-level vacation/PTO policies.
