Clive,
Is 'the' understood in the contexts presented which is why it is obmitted?
For example, the first sentence is said by the CEO of a company. So when 'all factory employees' is mentioned, it does not mean all factory employees in the world because it's understood that the words refer to factory employees of the company?

To my mind you could have the in both sentences with no actual difference in meaning.
