I don't think that it requires a court of law to determine that Agriprocessors was engaged in practices that are unethical at best. Kashrut should be based on ethical practices as well as legal ones. If we assume that they have not broken any U.S. or Iowa laws, then the only way that Agriprocessors will change their unethical practices is if they recognize that they are being held to a higher standard. The threat of a boycott should make all Kosher food purveyors sit up and take notice that such behavior will not be tolerated by the Kosher-consuming community Andrew - I disagree with your assessment.
