Unpopular worker (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scab

'unpopular worker' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for scab that I've seen before include "Wound's crust" , "Someone who works during a strike" , "Blackleg (colloq.)" , "He's not out" , "Ignorer of strike" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
