Apparently if you go on maternity leave or extended sick/disability leave the relationship can also go bad. I think there are a significant number of cases where the relationship goes bad because of reasons other than just straight poor performance. But certainly, sure, straight poor performance is a frequent reason. I don't think that unions like AWU are particularly concerned with the general performance review process.
