Removal workers? (5)

I believe the answer is:

shift

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'removal' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'workers?' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for shift that I've seen before include "Switch" , "Change (gear); dress" , "Team of workers" , "Change position" , "Simple dress; spell of work" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
