TUPE? But what about the receiving end?

A question for the legal minds.

TUPE law is easily accessible and in the main it is clear in regard to how the employees of a company, which is the subject of a takeover, are treated.

However, what about the other side of the coin?
Employees of the company carrying out the takeover. What legal rights do they have?

I am suddenly in the position where my employment is 'at risk' due to a takeover. My employer is the one with the money buying the other.

It seems that TUPE is protecting one side but not the other. Can my job really be taken by an individual from another company due to the law protecting their T & Cs but not mine?

I have searched on the net but I can't find any employment protection for someone in my position.

Any help appreciated.
