• Winding up a subsidiary company

Dear Sir

We work in a govt. company, which is a subsidiary of another govt company. Due to loss making in nature the holding company may close this subsidiary company. We are 5 employees who are permanent in payroll of the subsidiary company. Both the companies comes under Department of Public Enterprises. 

If the subsidiary company gets close, will the employees are sacked by holding companies? What are the references we have to protect us and what are the possibilities will would be considered as employee of the holding company if this subsidiary company is closed down in near future.
