Fought against being declared redundant (8)

I believe the answer is:

scrapped

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

'fought' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for scrapped that I've seen before include "Abolished, cancelled" , "Junked or discarded" , "Discarded as useless" , "Put up fight" , "Abandoned - had a fight" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
