There still be 7,800 employees in Connecticut after the staff reductions, company officials said. Officials added that Travelers is still one of the largest employers in the state.

I'm sure Mallof has a plan to bring ore jobs to CT, by passing some more tax increases.

Isn’t Travelers Insurance also known as “Fellow Travelers” insurance because they support left wing causes? Is so, then they deserve what they get.

I retired from Travelers and never heard that term. Their support for charities runs the gamut. They are very conservative in their investment practices and never invested in mortgage backed securites. They were unhurt by the housing bubble.

OK. Thanks. I stand corrected. Thought I recalled something about them a few years ago, and the name stuck in my head.

My Travelers homeowners insurance went up 50% this summer. Is that how they are prudently managing their costs? BTW, I dropped them. Maybe that is why they are having layoffs. They are driving away customers.

Or, as I would have said it:

“You politicians from 0bama to malloy have screwed up the insurance business and we’re losing money. Too bad we have to fire some people. I hope you’re happy 0bama and malloy”

Not true. I have an immediate family member that is president of a division there. I assure you that not “all” are lefty psychos.
