Postal services in Derry suspended
Postal services in Derry have been suspended following a threat made against a staff member at a sorting office in Great James Street.
An emergency meeting is planned for Monday morning to discuss the threat.
Services were suspended earlier this year when threats were made against other members of staff in the loyalist Waterside area of the city.
Although the threats were reportedly made by the loyalist Ulster Defence Association, they subsequently denied involvement.
Charlie Kelly from the Communications Workers Union said postal staff were taking the latest threats seriously.
He said: "Staff are very, very worried, particularly in light of events this week.
"Because they are out on the street in the morning, they are in the front line, they see themselves as easy targets."
Mr Kelly said he hoped services could resume on Monday but added that the safety of staff was paramount.
