California
Restaurant Association Chooses EMPLOYERS® as its
new Provider
of Choice for Members’ Workers’ Compensation Insurance
Needs
November
8, 2007 – Reno, Nev. – EMPLOYERS® (NYSE:EIG),
a
leading provider of workers’ compensation insurance, today announced a new
partnership with the California Restaurant Association (CRA) through which
CRA
members can purchase workers’ compensation insurance with a special CRA
membership discount.
“We
are
enthusiastic about being the CRA’s provider of choice,” said Hale Johnston,
Pacific Region President for EMPLOYERS. “We have a long track record of working
successfully with the restaurant industry in California and this new
relationship is going to make it easy and affordable for restaurant owners
to
take advantage of our outstanding workers’ compensation insurance and
services.”
The
CRA
is the definitive voice for the more than 88,000 eating and drinking
establishments operating in California, more than 22,000 of which are CRA
members. With an estimated $54 billion in food and drink sales in 2007,
generating $4.5 billion in sales tax per year, restaurants drive both revenue
and employment in the state. California restaurants currently represent an
estimated 1.4 million jobs, and the National Restaurant Association projects
that number will increase to 1.6 million by 2017.
“I’m
excited about this arrangement because EMPLOYERS is very focused on the needs
of
California restaurants,” said Jot Condie, CRA President and CEO. “EMPLOYERS does
the majority of its business in California, where restaurants are its single
largest class of business. Clearly, this makes EMPLOYERS a natural partner
for
the CRA.”
EMPLOYERS
works through its network of independent insurance agents to offer workers’
compensation insurance and a suite of added-value services to policyholders
including: claims management, loss control, fraud prevention and managed care
services. The company also offers excellent customer support, with 24/7
multilingual claims reporting, flexible payment plans and a low minimum premium
of only $500.
“Establishing
positive relationships like this, is one way we feel the CRA can make an impact
for our members,” said Condie. “We are very happy to have EMPLOYERS join us in
enhancing our industry’s potential for success.”
EMPLOYERS is
headquartered in Reno, Nev., and provides workers’ compensation insurance and
services to small U.S. businesses in states coast to coast. Find your local
