As far as your employer is concerned, there probably isn't much that you can do. The fact is that most employment is "at will". This means that a company can set the conditions of work much as it sees fit. This includes who, when and why to terminate an employee. In fact, a worker can be fired for any reason or no reason at all. Therefore, unless your treatment violates the terms of a union agreement or employment contract, or constitutes some form of legally actionable discrimination, you have no recourse against your employer. That having been said, if you have proof of what this other co-worker has and is continuing to do, you my have a personal injury claim against them.
