Employees is probably the word you're looking for. Either that or "Associates"

-Nah-
I took NewHope's examples, "Working people or Working class" to mean that what was required was a term to describe all those who work for all bosses. I would say we were all workers. I would use 'employees', or 'staff' to mean all those who work for a specific employer. I don't think 'associates' fits the bill at all.

Where I come from, there's nothing wrong with being called working class, or being described as a worker.

'Blue collar' describes one particular type of worker. 'White collar' describes another.

It would help if NewHope would give us the context for the expression required.
