End a hotel employee strike (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stoppage

'strike' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'end a hotel employee' is the wordplay.
'end' becomes 'stop' ('stop' can be a synonym of 'end').
'a hotel employee' becomes 'page' (I've seen this in other clues).
'stop'+'page'='STOPPAGE'

(Other definitions for stoppage that I've seen before include "break" , "Obstructed condition" , "pay may be reduced by this" , "Instance of industrial action" , "strike action" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
