They employ various holds in their work (8)
I believe the answer is:
shippers
'they' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are plural nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'employ various holds in their work' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'in' could be 'hip' (both can mean fashionable) and 'hip' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
