On the 20th anniversary of the tragedy, several Windows on the World workers reunited to honor the lives lost, and advocate for a fair wage in the future.
Over 70 employees from the Windows on the World restaurant — which had occupied the 106th and 107th floors of the North Tower — died after becoming trapped above the impact zone where hijacked American Airlines Flight 11 hit.
At that time 20 years ago, the federal minimum cash wage for tipped workers was $2.13. Activists pointed out Saturday, the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, that it remains the same $2.13 today.
