Jobs Act's regarding job in shipyard (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stevedore

'job in shipyard' is the definition.

'jobs act's regarding' is the wordplay.
'jobs' becomes 'steve' (Steve Jobs).
'act' becomes 'do' (I've seen this in other clues).
'regarding' becomes 're'.
'steve'+'do'+'re'='STEVEDORE'

(Other definitions for stevedore that I've seen before include "dock pay for him?" , "Dock-worker loads and unloads ships" , "Dock worker" , "Worker who loads and unloads ships" , "one working in docks" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
