George Mueller’s arrest caused eight thousand steel and electrical workers in the Pittsburgh district to strike in protest. Mueller wanted them to return to work, but the union members had a meeting and voted to not consider a company offer about their wages until the court lifted its antistrike injunction.

Wiedeking felt that VW could gain more profits if they stopped supporting Bugatti and Phaeton, which upset Piëch and his vision. It can be said that both men are somewhat at fault for the conflict. Before the merger, they seemed to not have clearly communicated their company visions with each other. Instead, once the companies merged, problems grew between Wiedeking and Piëch.
