Crowd Funding Campaign Setup For Former Team Rock Employees

Yesterday we reported about the various Team Rock staff - including members of the Metal Hammer print / online publication - losing their jobs as the company is in serious financial difficulty.

Today we learned that the employees were not notified in advance of this impending lack of employment, and many of the staff members discovered they had lost their jobs through social media.

A crowd funding campaign has now been setup to help those former employees, who have received no severance pay of any kind. You can contribute right here. Orange Goblin's Ben Ward comments:

"Today, 73 members of the Team Rock staff were told that the company is going into liquidation and that they are being made redundant with immediate effect with ZERO pay.

"These are good, hard-working, committed people that through Metal Hammer, Classic Rock, Prog Rock, TeamRock Radio and more, have supported the rock and heavy metal scene in this country for decades and now we, the rock community, need to pull together to help give something back. Please spare what you can so that everyone may enjoy the festive spirit."
