Second liberal worker's point of view (5)
I believe the answer is:
slant
'point of view' is the definition.
(slant is a kind of point of view)
'second liberal worker's' is the wordplay.
'second' becomes 's' (common abbreviation).
'liberal' becomes 'l' (abbreviation).
'worker' becomes 'ant' (worker is a type of ant).
's'+'l'+'ant'='SLANT'
(Other definitions for slant that I've seen before include "Lean, point of view" , "Angle; slope" , "Slope, lean" , "Angle; incline" , "passing breeze?" .)
