Apparently our union didn't find the weather situation to be severe enough to allow BA to activate the disruption agreement. Big mistake because if BASSA would ever use that as an example of BA breaching our agreements it would go against them as it was one of the severest snowstorm ever in the UK in a very long time. BASSA would have to come up with a very good explanation as to why they refused.
The hot towel issue is a bit more complicated. After 9/11 they agreed to temporary measurements including crewing level reductions. Handing out some hot towels doesn't take very long and is not a problem but there were to be no increase of workload without negotiation. When BA wanted to introduce a hot towel service in WT+ BASSA felt they were trying to get away with another imposition because BA didn't ask them first.
