You have no need to worry for your jobs. If/when NATS takes on the Luton Radar task it will almost certainly employ the existing controllers - or most of them - and on better conditions, pay etc.
TC does not have 'world domination plans'. It has had so much foisted onto it with virtually no increase in staff viz CLN sector, Stansted expanding so fast it will have more movements than Manchester by summer, Lon City doubling its traffic this year, Gatwick expanding further into the night hours and plans to take on most of London Middle etc etc. And they have just posted 5 ATCOs out of TC.
That creaking noise you can hear is the seam bursting - or the controllers queuing up outside the doc's!
