Labour leader may give the password (4,7)
I believe the answer is:
shop steward
'labour leader' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'may give the password' is the wordplay.
'may' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'might' mean this (I've seen this in other clues)).
'give' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the'+'password' is 'thepassword'.
'thepassword' is an anagram of 'SHOP-STEWARD'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shop steward that I've seen before include "Trade union representative" , "Workers' representative" , "One who's organizing hands" , "Unionist" , "Workplace representative of unionised employees" .)
