I'm guessing it all depends on what you define as a "worker".
So, when the "worker" is appointed to the board, do they cease to become a "worker" and therefore ineligible to hold the position?
"Employee" is a relatively narrow term: one who works for an employer subject to a contract of employment.
A member of the armed forces or a civil servant is not an employee. Self-evidently, somebody who is self-employed is not an employee. None has the benefit of the protection of employment law.
An employee who is "promoted" to the board probably becomes an employer, but remains a worker.
Back to physics: work = the movement of an object by the force exerted upon it and the unit of work is the Joule.
OED: 4.a. Action or activity involving physical or mental effort and undertaken in order to achieve a result, esp. as a means of making one's living or earning money; labour; (one's) regular occupation or employment.
