Can I be forced to work at another location while still employed at my current location?

My company bought another plant near by. Now they arranged the
company as’one’ and asked for me to work down there to fill in. I
have worked down there before this man took over and I explained to
him that I was not comfortable there. Now I feel harrassed about it
and he put it in our job duties to work 80 hours a year there. CAN I
be forced and if I don’t go, can they fire me. They put it on our
goals for the year where they know I will get a red.

Unless this action violates the terms of an employment contract or union agreement, you have no claim here. The fact is that as a general rule, employers can set the conditions of employment much as they see fit (absent some form of legally actionable discrimination).
