Adversely affected staff employing one union member (7,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

married man

'union member' is the definition.
(a marriage is a union)

'adversely affected staff employing one' is the wordplay.
'adversely affected' becomes 'marred' (mar can mean to spoil or damage).
'staff' becomes 'man' (as in staffing or manning a particular place).
'employing' indicates putting letters inside.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'marred'+'man'='marredman'
'marredman' going around 'i' is 'MARRIED MAN'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
