'workers?' is the definition.
(secretary is a kind of worker)

'zodiacal sign' is the wordplay.
'zodiacal' becomes 'secret' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'sign' becomes 'aries' (star sign).
'secret'+'aries'='SECRETARIES'

'not divulged by officer' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
