Worker put party above monarch (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

labourer

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

'worker' is the definition.
(labourer is a kind of worker)

'party above monarch' is the wordplay.
'party' becomes 'labour' (Labour Party is an example).
'above monarch' becomes 'er' (abbreviation for Elizabeth Regina, British Queen. I am not sure about the 'above' bit.).
'labour'+'er'='LABOURER'

'put' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for labourer that I've seen before include "Navvy" , "Manual worker" , "He is said to be worthy of his hire" , "Hercules, perhaps?" , "One does heavy physical work" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
