The other week my LOR was talking about how it was problematic that mashgichim work for the kosher processing plant, and not a monitoring agency.
If the plant manager does not like how the mashgiach’s certification then he/she can just fire him and get a new one who will do as he says.
Why is this the way? Was it always like this? So OU doesn’t have their own mashgichim that they send out from a central agency?
What are the barriers in implementing a centralizing agency and authority to take over the kashrut process and liberate the mashgichim from feeling pressured to certify something treif or questionable as kosher?
