A strike revolt over slaughterhouse (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abattoir

'slaughterhouse' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'a strike revolt over' is the wordplay.
'strike' becomes 'bat'.
'revolt' becomes 'riot'.
'over' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'riot' backwards is 'toir'.
'a'+'bat'+'toir'='ABATTOIR'

(Other definitions for abattoir that I've seen before include "shambles once" , "place where animals die" , "Building used for butchery" , "stunning location" , "it makes a killing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
