Nope, works is the valid plural here, consider "Department of Public Works", "By their works shall ye know them". Work is not reliably a mass noun: it makes sense to speak of a work by a particular author. In fact I suspect that's the joke in the name, "work in progress" uses the mass noun and "works in progress" uses the count noun, which is somewhat specific to creative, well, works.
