The obvious one is that EU workers are taking over jobs as they're willing to suffer worse pay/conditions and that is what has gained a lot of support for Leave.
Obviously the argument is that this isn't really an immigration issue, it's a government issue with minimum wage rules, etc. That is a bit of a race to the bottom though if the only protection is the minimum wage. You can see why a business will want to replace its unionised workers who are earning £15 an hour with immigrant labour who aren't part of the union and earns minimum wage.
It isn't really clear how this can be legislated against and maintain freedom of movement.
