Work as normally as you can in the meantime, but don’t cut corners putting yourself and others at risk.
Do not leap out of your seat as the wheels go up, or attempt to serve hot drinks if the seatbelt signs are on.
Forget about completing IFAs & the flight crew may have to make their own tea.
Record every occasion you can’t complete the service.
At a recent EF Health and Safety meeting, BASSA has insisted BA give us written guidelines for SCCMs regarding procedures if the cabin service including clearing in has not been completed at the 10 minutes to landing call, as this is a safety requirement.
The only duties crew should be performing after 10 minutes to landing call are safety related.
We suggest that you carry your useful (comic) reference guide with you, and show the first customer in ET on a Geneva that asks for a tomato juice why he can’t have it and show the last 4 rows of passengers on a NCL when disembarking why they couldn’t get a drink.
I may be way off the mark here, but I can't help comparing some of the above, minus the infantile elements, to the court transcripts from the Hong Kong 49ers thread over on R&N.

Yes, they eventually won their case for unfair dismissal, but it took 8 years. No doubt, BASSA supporters will say that it all happened in a different country, under different laws and that times have changed since then, so is therefore not relevant. Maybe they are right. But does anyone really want to test that theory out, especially in the current climate?
