Corporations would simply form their own states. They'd buy small armies and if libre labor poses an actual threat to their profits, they'd be removed. Even if you ignore that inevitability, economies of scale suggest at least the biggest businesses would be able to compete quite well.

Unless you're prepared to be a farmer, you're going to need to buy food, so you're going to *need* to sell your labor to survive, so individual laborers have to deal with the power imbalance of needing food immediately, compared to a business owner capable of hiring you clearly having extra money on hand to weather a shortfall until you cave out of hunger. There's an inherent power imbalance in the worker-employer relationship, and the absence of a state won't fix that.
