Isn’t “Arbeitsnehmer” one who takes labor? I would think the worker gives his or her labor, and the industrialist takes it.

Here "arbeit" translates to "job" better than "labour". One provides the job, the other takes the job (and consequently does the labour).

They're job providers, we need to give them all the tax breaks

Arbeitnehmer (job taker) is employee, Arbeitgeber (job giver) is employer.

In Dutch we have werknemer and werkgever.

Werknemer takes work (person with a job)

Werkgever gives work (company hiring people)
