LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc has "lost" about 40 workers in two of its Washington, D.C., restaurants after an internal review showed that they were not authorized to work in the United States.
The company said on Friday the workers recently left their jobs and declined to give details on the restaurants that were affected. At the end of 2010, Chipotle had eight restaurants in Washington, D.C.
On Tuesday, Chipotle co-Chief Executive Monty Moran said "very, very few" employees had left their jobs at the chain's restaurants in the nation's capital and Virginia since getting notice that U.S. immigration officials were auditing its roughly 60 restaurants in the area.
Just a few months ago, a similar federal immigration audit resulted in the firing of 450 undocumented workers at the chain's roughly 50 Minnesota restaurants.
