Reading the OBXtek WARN Record
OBXtek has 2 WARN Act filings in this dataset, covering 126 workers between Feb 20, 2024 and Sep 25, 2024. As with any WARN count, the true figure runs somewhat higher (why). By total workers affected, OBXtek ranks #85 of 285 tracked employers in FL. Among the 8 other Other Services employers with recorded WARN filings, the median is 3,640 affected workers -- OBXtek's 126 sits well below that group's typical scale. Every recorded filing was reported to FL's workforce agency, in the Other Services sector -- a single-state footprint, unlike the multi-state pattern common among larger employers.
Averaging 63 workers per notice, OBXtek's filings fall into a pattern that suggests targeted team or department cuts that still crossed the WARN reporting threshold. The 2 notices on file represent distinct events, each triggering a 60-day advance warning obligation that fed into state rapid-response systems.
Workers on FL-based OBXtek notices should contact the FL workforce agency directly, response teams, severance negotiation guidance, and TAA (Trade Adjustment Assistance) screening move fastest in the days immediately following a notice.

This record reflects filed notices only; subsequent hiring, rescinded closures, or facility reopenings are not tracked by WARN disclosures.
