		<description><![CDATA[Handling oppression actions means being involved in family fights; it’s simply the nature of the business.  While not all closely held businesses are family-owned, many are.  And family-owned businesses tend to have more problems than other types of businesses, since interpersonal issues frequently mix with the business end, often to toxic result.
