ants

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'little workers' is the definition.
'ants' can be an answer for 'workers' (worker ants). I also know that 'little' relates to this answer.

'article about saint' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'a' (the indefinite article in English).
'about' becomes 'nt' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'saint' becomes 's'.
'a'+'nt'+'s'='ANTS'

'getting' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ants that I've seen before include "Tiny insects that live in colonies" , "Emmets" , "Small social insects" , "Six-foot insects" , "Soldiers" .)
