More details to this question:
I have been doing things for the company that I work for that I do not get paid for and am not required to do. I recently told them that I did no feel like doing something that I am not required to do and they made a big fuss about. I then realized that they were taking advantage of me so I told them I would no longer be doing any extra stuff and they flat out denied that they promised me any raise and they also say that they are paying me for things thy are not. Then they Threaten to lower my wage or find someone else.

The answer to your question is that it all depends on the details of your situation. It particularly depends on the terms that you and your employer agreed on. If you have contracted to do certain work at a piece or other non-hourly rate, and the employer is requiring you to do additional work without compensation, then you very possibly have a valid claim for the value of your work. Before running off to court, however, you will need to do a serious analysis of the benefit of doing so, especially because it will probably mean the end of the relationship.
If you can provide a little more information about your situation, it would be easier to give you a more complete answer. I am also happy to sit down and have a consultation with you, if you would like to contact me directly.
