Dunkin' CEO: $15 min wage is 'outrageous'

UPDATED 2:54 AM EDT Jul 24, 2015

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) —Dunkin' Donuts' top executive says a $15 minimum wage for fast food workers is "absolutely outrageous."

On Thursday, New York state's wage board recommended fast food workers make at least $15 per hour. The board said it should happen by the end of 2018 in New York City.

Dunkin' Brand CEO Nigel Travis says the plan will do more harm than good.

Travis said he supports governments making "reasonable increases" to the minimum wage, but a hike to $15 per hour represents a 71 percent increase over the current state minimum.
