It is extremely important to keep a written record of every time there was bullying, who was involved and what happened, including the actions and attitude of any supervisor or foreperson.
Get support from your friends who will back you up.
Get support from your union, if there is one.
Keep a record too of what happened when you reported to the employer and what actions he/she took. If the bullying continues you may have to go outside the workplace to police or the courts.

When confronting a workplace bully, it is important to remain calm and composed. Clearly and assertively communicate the specific behavior that is unacceptable and its impact on you or others. Use "I" statements to express your feelings and set boundaries for future interactions. Document the incident and follow your organization's policies for reporting and addressing workplace bullying.
You should either tell an adult or personally confront the bully and tell him that he has hurt your feelings or you. If that doesn't work, contact your parents or an adult.
Don't confront the bully. Try to stay away from him/her. You don't want unnecessary confrontation. That would would only make it worse.

The future tense of "confront" is "will confront".
No, that is an invasion of privacy and against the law in the workplace.
Perhaps not. Unfortunately, I believe that most hostile workplace laws are written with the intention of preventing sexual and physical harassment, not to control 'bully-bosses.'
The bully will just have to bully
Yes, there is such a thing as university bullies. There are bullies in certain areas of society such as Elementary School; High School; University and the workplace. Even parents to friends can bully.
I think this answer can be a bully or an intimidator.
