I think Josh's joke does get to a serious answer to your question: I don't think you should use the word that describes the worker, but the word that describes the work. However, I see that in the craft=* space (is this where you're heading with this Martin?) most of the tags do describe the person doing the work rather than the kind of work they do (ie - carpenter not carpentry, photographer not photography, etc. although there are also cases like pottery instead of potter).
About "steel worker", I would imagine that as a person working in a steel mill, who might also be called a foundry worker. The other case you mention could be called a framer, although carpenter or just construction worker might be more common.
