In a letter released last week, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers requested the Biden administration reconsider their decision. If followed through, the IAMAW said the move would impact 1,200 union jobs.<\/p>\n<p>The union noted the facilities that Biden is looking to close are some of the largest employers in their localities. Because of this, they emphasized how much of a negative impact these closures would have on the community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe closure of these facilities will result in thousands of hard-working Americans losing their good jobs during one of the most economically challenging times in our country\u2019s history,\u201d IAMAW President Robert Martinez wrote.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2411417\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2411417\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2411417\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/biden-1-616x437-1.jpg\" alt=\"WILMINGTON, DELAWARE - AUGUST 20: Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden delivers his acceptance speech on the fourth night of the Democratic National Convention from the Chase Center on August 20, 2020 in Wilmington, Delaware.
