A piece in the Forward provides a good introduction to Tav HaYosher, an ethical seal given to kosher establishments that commit to treat their employees with respect.

The program has lofty ambitions, but is starting at an attainable tier. As the founder of Uri L'Tzedek (the organization that issues the seals) says:

When I went into this, I wanted a living wage, health care, all kinds of benefits, but came to realize that even the most basic things were not being respected.

Three of the 36 establishments granted the seal spoke with the paper, and indicated that the seal has "been a draw" for those committed to ethical standards of employment.

The Tav HaYosher website includes a complete list of certified establishments.
