Corner Brook nurses protest mandated overtime in struggling health-care system

Maria Young was one of dozens of nurses at a rally in Corner Brook on Tuesday demanding the provincial government eliminate mandated overtime and support nurses working in the provincial health-care system as emergency rooms across Newfoundland and Labrador face extraordinary pressure.
