BEND, Ore. -- When Northland Furniture called its employees to a Christmas Eve meeting, Betty Arnett said she and her co-workers thought they were getting Christmas bonuses. Instead, the company told them they were fired and handed out paychecks that bounced, Arnett said.

Arnett said her bank has suspended her checking privileges, charged her for passing bad checks and she now must find a way to pay for the Christmas presents she bought for her two small kids.

Jackson is concerned about his company 401(k) retirement plan.

Roy P. Disney, the grandnephew of Walt Disney, bought Northland in May 1997.

Company officials did not return calls and e-mails on Thursday.
