If she can document this, she should seriously consider making a  
formal complaint, and be prepared to take them to a tribunal if they  
don't fix it. It's not only outrageous as you said, it's illegal.

The company would need to show very good justifications for why they  
think she's not providing the same quality work as her counterparts to  
stand a chance in defending themselves in an employment tribunal. Key  
here is to get as much documentation in place as possible, such as  
signed performance review documents, any kind of measures used  
internally for productivity, feedback from managers and coworkers on  
her work etc _before_ she makes the complaint.

I'm not a lawyer, so she should consult one before doing anything, but  
there's no reason to put up with something like that.
