Kosher Distributor Faces Labor Court Hearing
Jump to Comments
“In the past year, a number of Jewish organizations, led by Conservative movement rabbis, have suggested that consumers should consider the labor and environmental conditions behind kosher food. A union that is affiliated with the workers at Flaum has made similar arguments in its protests of the company. In a pamphlet handed out to shoppers outside Zabar’s, a gourmet supermarket on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, the union said, “Flaum Appetizing Corp. strictly observes Halakha (Jewish Law) with regard to food, but arrogantly defies its teachings (and State and federal laws) concerning treatment of workers.”” Forward.com
