It is not unlawful to have friends at work. It is unlawful if this were some sort of religious cult and they were discriminating against employees who are not part of that cult, in an adverse manner. If you believe the friendship is treating you less favorably, in some way, you should talk to your union representative to see if some provision of the collective bargaining agreement has been violated.
