Stoppage? Restart somehow involves workers (10)
I believe the answer is:
arrestment
'stoppage?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'restart somehow involves workers' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates an anagram.
'involves' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'workers' becomes 'men' (men can mean staff or employees).
'restart' is an anagram of 'arrestt'.
'arrestt' going around 'men' is 'ARRESTMENT'.
(Another definition for arrestment that I've seen is " getting hold of money owed maybe".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
