This supervisor has not written anyone up as of yet. She is a state of Michigan employee She has dicussed confidential information with other staff. This has to be some type of work rule violation.

Ask for you copy of the company's employee policy manual, and look it up. If you aren't satisfied with what that says, ask you local ACLU to review the policy to see if it is legal in the state of Michigan and if it is constitutional. Worker's rights can vary greatly from state to state. Probably what you will find is that bureaucracies tend to favor management over front line workers, and since they write the rules, the rules are tilted in their favor.
How strongly do you feel about this? Are you the person she wants to write-up? Does the person know? Are you the person? What if what that person is doing is ACTUALLY WRONG? What should the supervisor do? What is wrong with this supervisor that she cannot tactfully be direct with the offending party?

Not for threating to write you up for anything as it is the job of a supervisor to ensure that employees follow company policy. Actually, it is a courtesy that they are giving you a verbal warning as they ar providing employees the opportunity to correct their behavior without having a permanent mark on your record. Some supervisors don't (and unless mandated by company policy, they are not required to do so) and will write you up on the spot to document for the file and to prevent the same thing from happening again.
The only time it would become an issue if the supervisor singled out or targeted those in an EEOC protected class and actually wrote them up for things that were not a violation of company policy or only wrote only them up and not others with the same violation and it could be proved that the supervisor had a historical record of only writing up say, a certain ethnic group, but not others in a different ethnic group that committed the same offense.

This seems more of a moral/ethical situation, not a legal one.
