Officials, (civil) servants, officers...


Explanation:
Considerando a possibilidade de tratar-se realmente de servidores públicos, fica a minha sugestão com os termos acima.

Example sentence(s):
  • Also, write those officials who support our goals to thank them for their positions. (www.yorkteaparty.com/?tag=limited-government)
  • Thank you, therefore, to the civil servants who support us.

servidores
(regular) staff


Explanation:
"Servidor" is a common term for 'employee', as in "servidores publicos". I prefer 'staff' in this context because it's more informal and less specific. The "funcionarios" would be the managers.

agree  Sam Cogdell: I was wondering at first if this might mean 'crew', but I don't think there's enough context to know, ans 'staff' gets the idea across
