I'm not saying that worker = working class. A worker is someone who
works; a member of the working class is someone with little or no
property who must earn a paycheck to stay alive.

This term appears in connection with several subjects: employment status, journey-to-work items, class of worker, weeks worked in the past 12 months, and number of workers in family in the past 12 months. Its meaning varies and, therefore, should be determined in each case by referring to the definition of the subject in which it appears.

(noun) Wrestlers are said to "work" a match and are thus called "workers". The more talented they are, the better a "worker" they are considered. As a match progresses, it is possible to separate the match into "action" and "inaction" portions. When the wrestlers are doing something that's the action, and when they're in a resthold or lying on the mat after a double-knockout or whatever, that's the inaction. The ratio of action to inaction is the workrate. A wrestler whose matches have lots of action and a minimum of resting has good workrate, and a wrestler who spends the entire match in a reverse chinlock has bad workrate.
