    This special edition of The Business features a rare head-to-head conversation about future of acting with the dueling presidents of the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, Alan Rosenberg and Roberta Reardon. It's the first time the leaders have spoken since March 29. The two actors' unions have been at odds for years but have always negotiated with producers together. This time, for the first time in 27 years, rancorous infighting ended in separate negotiations.

    Note: This special edition of The Business pre-empts The Treatment at 2:30 and Which Way, LA? at 7pm.
