Starbucks is showing its commitment to its immigrant employees by offering them free advice on immigration law, the company confirmed Tuesday. The coffee giant’s Immigration Advisory Program, which it announced Monday, will offer consultation through Ernst & Young, one of the world’s largest professional services. “Our partners (employees) and their families have questions about travel and immigration status, so we wanted to provide them with a newly developed Immigration Advisory Program to meet their needs,” Starbucks spokesman Reggie Borges told The Huffington Post in an email. The resource is available to full-time and part-time employees and their families, he added. The announcement follows a pledge Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz made to hire 10,000 refugees over the next five years.
