Some support for the workers (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

staff

I believe this is a double definition.

'some support' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'the workers' is the second definition.
(members of staff)

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for staff that I've seen before include "Employees; spindle in watch" , "Crew" , "Personnel or wooden pole" , "Employees; sign of office" , "Stick of authority" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
