WORKERS made redundant from the troubled Time Computer group are using their own website in a cyberspace bust-up with the company.

And in a further bid to embarrass the management, they have hi-jacked the name of multi-millionaire chairman Tahir Mohsan, for their website domain.

The electronic bulletin board carries messages from disgruntled workers made redundant by Time over the past five months.

Today, Time refused to comment on the web site or its content. "It is just one former employee who has set up the web site," said spokesperson Ayshea Domun. "We have no comment to make."

The company, however, has been aware of the website for at least a week and is threatening action. A message posted on the site states:

"To whoever is responsible for this frankly pathetic attempt at causing issues amongst staff:

" I have passed a note to legal/MI informing them of the presence of this site. I suggest you immediately remove all logos and references to time."

The Time Group has undergone a major restructuring following a sharp drop in sales of home PCs.

Hundreds of workers are thought to have been made redundant at the company's headquarters in Simonstone and at about 60 stores that have been axed throughout the UK.

Time has ignored calls from Ribble Valley MP Nigel Evans to come clean on the number of jobs that have been axed within the Time Group.

According to former workers who contacted the unauthorised Time website, about 130 people were made redundant on April 25.

The Register, an online publication that specialises in the IT industry, repeated the figure and claimed more than 300 manufacturing jobs at Simonstone had been lost since December.

The article claimed only two of the company's 20 production lines were functioning, employing about 100 people.

Time declined to comment on the Register article.
