plodder

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

'slow and laborious worker' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'pc before red revolution' is the wordplay.
'pc' becomes 'plod' (informal term for a police officer).
'before' says to put letters next to each other.
'revolution' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'red' back-to-front is 'der'.
'plod'+'der'='PLODDER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for plodder that I've seen before include "Slow dull worker" , "One who walks laboriously or works slowly" .)
