Rabbi Shammai Engelmayer, editor of Judaism and rabbi of a large Conservative Synagogue in Bergen County, New Jersey, takes on the ethics of American Kashrut supervision in this article in the Jewish Standard. Maybe someone in the Orthodox camp will take notice?

Jewish Standard The meat of the matter
There is something not quite kosher about kashrut supervision these days. Treat animals with cruelty, treat workers with disrespect, and otherwise engage in poor labor practices, and exhibit one of the worst records in the United States for health violations, and you can still receive certification from the major organizations and be acceptable to the Rabbinical Council of Bergen County.
Let your waitress wear a miniskirt, play music that might cause someone to want to dance, or serve Shabbat lunch in a synagogue social hall equipped with a live microphone and you can kiss your certification good-bye.
