The government is warning of a "grim" September with up to 6,000 jobs set to be cut across the steel and oil refining industries, the BBC understands.
A total of 2,800 jobs are set to go at Port Talbot in Wales, while up to 3,000 jobs are expected to be axed at British Steel in Scunthorpe. A further 400 will be cut at Scotland's Grangemouth oil refinery.
Unions' hopes that investment from a new Labour government could help limit job losses have largely been dashed, according to sources.
