Depends on how you define it. In the strictest sense, selfish means
with focus on self, and that darkworkers inevitably are.
But usually when people use the word selfish, we mean it in a more behavioral-based way: "He's so selfish; he (took the last piece of pizza without even asking)(wouldn't give her a ride home even though it's right on his way)(wouldn't help me with my homework because 'it doesn't affect his grade')(is always cutting people off on the highway)
And a darkworker wouldn't engage in those behaviors any more than a lightworker would. (Taking the last piece of pizza makes people angry at you, making it less likely that they'll invite you to pizza in the future; giving her a ride home is a low-cost way to get a favor owed to you; ditto the homework; cutting people off on the highway endangers his life)
So although they may be selfish in the literal sense, they're unlikely to have the term applied to their behavior.
