mullet

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

'hairdo' is the definition.
(mullet is a type of hairdo)

'see union member's revolting' is the wordplay.
'see' becomes 'tell' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'union' becomes 'U' (common abbreviation as in 'Trades Union Congress').
'member' becomes 'm' (political abbreviation).
'revolting' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'tell'+'u'+'m'='tellum'
'tellum' reversed gives 'MULLET'.
