How would one translate a phrase such as "you students" or "you workers", such as in the sentence: "What are you students/workers/other noun doing right now?"

What are you students doing right now? = ¿Que estan haciendo ustedes ahora?. If you are saying this in person, the use of * estudiantes/ trabajadores* is implied.

If it is writen, I'd say something like: Hey! Ustedes, trabajadores, ¿Que estan haciendo?

I am not a native and my Spanish is "dodgy" but here is an example .-

¿Qué estás haciendo en este momento ustedes estudiantes ( trabajadores)?
