The short answer is economics. The tremendous loss of population resulted in a severe labor shortage. That caused wages to rise, and hence prices rose. The nobility, who owned most of the land, enacted laws to keep wages low. That meant the peasants were faced with low wages but high prices for basics like food. That pushed them in to desperate straights. Thus they revolted. there were other factors at work which make it more complicated than that, but that is the simple answer.

Answer2
After the plague had died off, and a lot of Europe's population were dead, peasants who survived were mostly free and could live like the wealthy people whom they had been working for, they got land and with the land a home and an income to be made from their land
It gave rise to peasants and 'the working mans' rights
The wealthy (landowners/lords) survivors found that, due to amount of people that died they either had to do the work themselves, (ie tend their crops, washing their linen, which with lots of land and garden and jobs to do was a bit impossible) or pay peasants higher, treat them fairly and even give them a home.
