Worker, with pride perhaps, surrenders (5,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hands in

'surrenders' is the definition.
(to hand something in is to surrender it)

'worker with pride perhaps' is the wordplay.
'worker' becomes 'hand' (hand is a kind of worker).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'pride perhaps' becomes 'sin' (pride is a kind of sin).
'hand'+'sin'='HANDS IN'
