In RUP a worker is a definition of the activities and responsibilities of one or more project members. In other methods and processes this is usually called a role.

Update:

RUP has changed the terminology and now only uses the term "role" when describing a system.

The term "worker" is still used in the "business modelling" part of RUP, but then only as "business worker".
