living wage

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

'adequate pay' is the definition.
'living wage' can be an answer for 'pay' (living wage is a kind of pay). I'm not sure about the 'adequate' bit.

'waging vile upheaval' is the wordplay.
'upheaval' is an anagram indicator.
'waging'+'vile'='wagingvile'
'wagingvile' with letters rearranged gives 'LIVING WAGE'.

'for' acts as a link.
