It looks like no one bothered to read anything about this situation. They are getting paid their full annual salary as normal. They aren't getting "overtime" aka time and a half, because getting stuck in space is apparently a normal part of their job.
That being said, a normal astronaut doesn't get time and a half during any trip, extended or not, it's just part of the job.
Not at all, Trump asked if the astronauts get overtime, the NASA dweeb said no, no one at NASA gets overtime - because everyone is on salary. Trump took that to mean that they don't get paid for being up there.
They were paid for 8 days of work. They were officially done working last July.
This is making sure they are paid for the months of overtime they had no choice to endure because their ride home was held politically hostage until the workplace boss holding them at work against their will was fired and replaced.
I mean, did they choose to stay for an extended period, or was it the fault of the government? We know the answer. I'm sure they had to do SOME kind of work while they were up there, you know, TO STAY ALIVE! I hope they find out who made the decision to not pay these people and FIRE them!
The government should have brought them home last year. It only refused because SpaceX is the only functional space vehicle that could do it, and recycling space ships = bad now.
Great that Pres Trump offered to make them whole. Either Doocy (the reporter) was brown nosing by giving a softball toss to Trump or else he was prompted by someone (Maybe Karoline Leavitt) to ask that question. I don't for a minute believe that Doocy cared enough to check into the pay situation, on his own, of two strangers he doesn't know, out of altruism.
They are tricking Trump and going to steal money from him now. its disgraceful. I was just reading how they didnt even go to space! Someone should let trump know he's being taken.
This is genuinely good and righteous.
They were stranded at work since last summer by a senile old man's puppeteering government for political reasons because their ride to work broke down and is too dangerous to ever use again. Meanwhile their ride home has been waiting patiently but the workplace management hates that guy because his ride is more efficient, cheaper, safer, and instantly available. So the managers had to be fired and replaced so a new manager could OK the ride back home after so long.
Of course they deserve overtime pay. Extra respect for not even taking that pay out of taxpayer pockets - above and beyond good person move.
Wow. They held the as political prisoners and won't even pay what they owe or even compo?? Madness. But then, same with the J6ers I guess... :(
Surprised Jake Lang & co aint sued DC for all they have keeping them incarcerated without a trial for months and even years! Blatant violation of 6A & even 8A tbh.
they deserve more than that even. frankly, they should be rewarded several million dollars each and never have to work again after what theyve been through. They are victims and have to live with that blemish on their heart now. Its just sad. Id donate to their go fund me if they had one.
the peoples president.......dont worry some leftie commie judge will try to stop him
AHA! SO THAT'S WHY HE PROPOSED NO TAX ON OVERTIME PAY!!! WE GOT HIM THIS TIME!!!1
LOL! Thanks for the laugh, I needed it right now!
Why are they not being paid?
That is the duty station they sent them to.

This entire narrative makes no sense. Is this to begin to put the spotlight on NASA?
I hope so. So much fake.

What did their employment contract say about "Earth work" as opposed to "Off planet work"?
Many jobs have various scales of pay depending upon the details of the work done.

Clearly they deserve to be paid.

I wonder why they were sent there in the first place?
lol
Some low level piece of shit i bet.
So, their families were just left to twist in the wind?
Trump has been trying hard to tell people what is up , but so far few are listening.
Its really quite amusing...."Go get them Elon"
He shouldn't have to though, he's sacrificed so much already.
Will they have to admit they were never stranded "up there"?
Bingo. This is one psyop for some reason they aren't willing to crash just yet. IMO ✌️
Hairspray gravity
They psyopped trump? maybe, but for sure not
Curious why there was so 17's showing up on the boat when they were being rescued and loaded. As well as the 17,000 mph mentions.
Was this a psyop?
The whole space station is a psyop - or a movie.
For what purpose
The government should pay them.
The government should have brought them home last year. It only refused because SpaceX is the only functional space vehicle that could do it, and recycling space ships = bad now.
In an ideal world, We the People would demand the employees we vote for to do the bidding of We the People.

What about J6'ers?
they should all be paid
I bet the astronauts replied to the 5 bullet point email.
That is truly thoughtful. And he still has money left.
Saw that. Our guy is pretty amazing. A true common man.
Where is the proof they were unpaid? Did the astronauts say that?
Wow. They held the as political prisoners and won't even pay what they owe or even compo?? Madness. But then, same with the J6ers I guess... :(

Overtime pay? They deserve hazard pay as well considering they were stuck up there
they deserve more than that even. frankly, they should be rewarded several million dollars each and never have to work again after what theyve been through. They are victims and have to live with that blemish on their heart now. Its just sad. Id donate to their go fund me if they had one.
