collaborators
People working together
Collaborators are people who work together on a shared project or goal.
Scientists, artists, and writers often have collaborators: She and her collaborators published the findings together.
The word carries a darker sense when applied to those who cooperate with an enemy or occupying force: Nazi collaborators faced prosecution after the war.
Context usually makes clear which meaning applies.
