Does your treatment constitute some form of legally actionable discrimination (in other words it is based on your religion, race, gender, etc.)? Does this supervisor's actions violate the terms of a union agreement or employment contract? If not, then you have no claim here. The fact is that an employer (or superior) can set the conditions of the workplace much as it sees fit. Merely boorish, rude or unprfessional behavior is not legally protected. As an at-will employee your options are to either put up with this supervisor, complain and risk termination or quit.
