| | Steel in the new Millennium - 8a - Sectoral Activities |
 | | This level of steel production in the UK means that in European terms, the UK is a medium-sized steel producer, with a similar level of output to that of France, but less than that produced in Italy, and particularly Germany. |
 | | Of the steel produced in the UK in 1996, almost 90% was cast by the continuous casting method, the remainder by ingot casting. |
 | | A notable exception to the general pattern of unionization and union representation in the industry is that of Sheerness Steel, a Canadian-owned electric arc steel producer in the South East of England, which withdrew trade union recognition in 1992, despite opposition from the extant trade unions at the plant (Bacon, 1997). |
