Workers who sometimes carry flashlights

Answer:

USHERS

Hint:

They guide you to your seat in the dark before the show begins.

Explanation:

"Workers who sometimes carry flashlights" points to ushers because they guide people to their seats in theaters or events, often in dim lighting where a flashlight helps. The clue plays on the practical role of ushers rather than any wordplay—it’s a straightforward definition. Think of movie theaters or concerts where ushers might use a light to show you the way.
