Start to jeer, with pressure on workers (4,2)
I believe the answer is:
boot up
'start' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'jeer with pressure on workers' is the wordplay.
'jeer with' becomes 'boo' (I've seen this in another clue. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'pressure' becomes 'p' (abbreviation).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'workers' becomes 'tu' (abbreviation for trade union).
'p' put after 'tu' is 'tup'.
'boo'+'tup'='BOOT UP'
'to' acts as a link.
