Puerto Rico's notices since 2020 are in PDFs at the bottom of this page https://www.ddec.pr.gov/en/workforce-development-program/

I probably should have added this earlier, but iIwrote them an email about the rest of the notices and:

I found another email on their site, which I contacted. I'll update if I get a response.

BTW - seems like the website cited above is no longer working. Tried looking for an updated link but didn't find anything so far.

@dchiueh Shame on me! I had the same experience last week but never came back to say so. I did find some in-house attorneys who presumably could point us in the right direction. I can reach out to them unless you want to.

Interestingly, well into 2023 that page was still active, and pointed at WARN notices only through early 2021: https://web.archive.org/web/20230428092026/https://www.ddec.pr.gov/images/WARN%20NOTICE%20LAW%20%202019-2020.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20230428092029/https://www.ddec.pr.gov/images/WARN%20NOTICE%20LAW%20%202021.pdf

But these sheets are in English, so it's possible the English version was deprecated while the Spanish versions continued ... somewhere.

Filed the following with what the website says is their information officer:

Solicitud de Ley de Transparencia

Hola,

Solicito registros de las notificaciones realizadas bajo la Ley de Avisos WARN, que fueron producidas por la UEDTP y publicadas previamente en el sitio web del departamento, incluidas aquellas que cubren los años 2019 - 2023. Idealmente en formato Excel o hoja de cálculo.

¡Gracias!

Thank you, @chriszs ! I wrote her July 10 and never heard back so my fingers are crossed.

They got back to me yesterday with links to three files now posted under "WARN Notice Act" on their web page: https://www.desarrollo.pr.gov/programas-federales?tab=conexion-laboral#programas-federales

The first two are Excel files corresponding to the PDFs from Archive.org covering 2019 - 2021. The third is a PDF ostensibly covering 2023.

They also attached a PDF with a single entry from 2024: Informe de Notificaciones Ley Warn 2024 pdf (002).pdf

No word on 2022.
