workers
Those who toil
Workers are people who work—those employed in jobs, especially manual or industrial labor.
The term often implies wage earners as distinct from owners or management: factory workers, healthcare workers, the rights of workers.
Worker also describes someone's habits: a hard worker, a fast worker.
In insect colonies, workers are sterile females that perform most tasks.
