Resistance in the work-place (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

opposition

'resistance' is the definition.
(I know that opposition is a type of resistance)

'work-place' is the wordplay.
'work' becomes 'op' (abbreviation for opus).
'place' becomes 'position' (synonyms).
'op'+'position'='OPPOSITION'

'in the' is the link.

(Other definitions for opposition that I've seen before include "parliamentary group" , "obstruction" , "those out of power" , "Resistance, dissent" , "antagonism" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
