shared is a part of the type:

     myWorkerArray = new shared(WorkerClass)[numberOfWorkers];

Alternatively, you can initialize myWorkerArray in a 'static this' block:

class WorkerClass
{}

enum size_t numberOfWorkers = 10;

shared WorkerClass[] myWorkerArray;

static this()
{
     myWorkerArray = new shared(WorkerClass)[numberOfWorkers];
}

void main()
{}

Please also consider the D.learn newsgroup. Such threads are very 
helpful on that newsgroup as well. :)
