not sure what kind of layer I will need work place harassment/ violence

There are not enough facts here to provide you with much advice.  Is this the only the only time that the foreman has subjected you to this kind of behavior or is it just an example of what he frequently does. If requeently, how often? Do other foremen or managers engage in this kind of behavior toward you or other employees? What is your gender/race/color/religion/creed/national origin/ age/ disability and what is your foreman's gender/race/color/religion/creed/national origin/age/disability etc. why do you think your foreman picked you for this kind of behavior?  The law does not provide any guarantees that a person's worklife will be pleasant. However, the law does not allow an employer to discriminate against you by creating a working environment hostile to you because of one of those reasons/ Michael A. Caldwell
