COMBATIVE and unreasonable.

That is how outspoken Member of Parliament Donville Inniss has described the island’s unions which are agitating for double-digit pay increases for civil servants.

He was speaking during a Democratic Labour Party St Peter branch meeting at the All Saints Training Centre yesterday evening.
