If the workers are actually stopping, play with the "Light Touch" MOD. It has an option to make workers ALWAYS work. You can also customize the automatic improvements (gold, production, etc) per city.
Beyond that, I think a lot of people are noticing the strange behavior of the game since a recent patch whereby, when coming back to your turn after the AI, the unit with focus will be one that is already in the middle of a task, but not stopped. If you just skip to the next unit, all is well. I think when the unit comes up with focus, people think it has stopped, when it actually hasn't.
