Just 776 FAA employees will get Trump's $10,000 bonus, but unions say thousands who worked during the shutdown were left

out

The Trump administration said Thursday that just 776 air traffic controllers and technicians who worked during the longest government shutdown in history will be awarded $10,000 bonuses for their “perfect attendance.”

The bonuses will be doled out no later than Dec. 9, according to a Federal Aviation Administration announcement.

“These patriotic men and women never missed a beat and kept the flying public safe throughout the shutdown,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said in a statement.

The National Air Traffic Controller Association (NATCA), a labor union for more than 20,000 air industry workers, told Fortune it was informed Thursday afternoon of Duffy’s decision to issue the cash awards to 311 of the workers it represents.

the FAA estimates 13,000 air traffic controllers worked without pay, most working ten hour shifts, six days a week, without the pay fkrs like Mike Johnson was getting for closing up government. Some reportedly getting second jobs to survive.

For which 12,224 of them aren't getting shit.

Would've cost Trump $122,240,000 to thank them ALL for their service and dedication, or about ONE THIRD the projected cost of his fkng BALLROOM.

So much for 'America first' eh?
