What company/agency do the ISS controllers actually work for?

For example, when you see the Space Shuttle ground crew, they have the obvious Unites Space Alliance logos on their clothing.
What about the ISS controllers then?

 

[Orbinaut Pete]

ISS flight controllers work for NASA.

 

[Codz]

All NASA missions have NASA members controlling them.

The ISS controllers over in Russia, I believe, are employed by RKK Energia.

The ESA controllers for Columbus are from ESA and not employed by a company, they run directly under ESA contracts.

The ISS is as much a technological masterpiece as it is a diplomatic one. Reading on the levels of treaties regarding the ISS can get a bit confusing. But each agency's lab is part of that agency' country, thus why Russian modules are run under Russian mission control, the American side of the station is run by mission control at Johnson Space Center, and so on.

Also, the financial aspects of the ISS are one big nightmare, since there is no trading of money between the countries, only of hardware and laboratory time. That is why there are so many cargo spacecraft, and so many different modules and other components. While the USA carry most of the costs and thus have most of the hardware and most of the lab time, others are also represented that way, and the changes because of module cancellations or the Shuttle retirement also had to be represented by non-financial means.

MCC-M is actually a subordinate structure of the Central Research Institute for Precision Machine Building, a Russian industrial design bureau (TsNIIMash, ЦНИИмаш). It's next door to Energia, but not Energia.

...and TsNIIMash is the Roskosmos' central research arm, not a design outfit (nitpicking, I know, I know)...
