Discusses the political upheaval that took place in Sweden after the European Court of Justice decided that the Latvian construction workers have the right to operate in Sweden against the wishes of Swedish labor unions. The seemingly technical court decision proves that the European Court of Justice is a political actor that is influenced by EU member states. A research constructed from time-series data and qualitative interviews is presented. L. Pitkaniemi
