Stewards with a time to look after workers? (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

attendants

'stewards' is the definition.
(eg flight attendants or air stewards)

'a time to look after workers?' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'to look after' becomes 'tend' (tending is a kind of looking after).
'workers?' becomes 'ants' (worker ants).
'a'+'t'+'tend'+'ants'='ATTENDANTS'

'with' is the link.

(Other definitions for attendants that I've seen before include "Train" , "They provide assistance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
