Basically because of what kids used to call him when he was going to school
Piggy and Jack are complete opposites so they were bound to but heads. In the beginning Jack and Piggy didn't have a problem with each other but as the story progressed the more Jack hated Piggy. It never really stated why they don't get along but I think that it's because Jack has a different personality. Jack is power thrived while Piggy is more intellectual. Hope that helped!
The only jobs which are specified in chapter one are... Piggy is told to "take names. That's your job." Jack decides that his choir will be hunters and Ralph appoints Jack and Simon to accompany him on an expedition to discover whether they are on an island or not.
At the start of the book Piggy asked Ralph what his name was so it was obvious they didn't know each other. Once Ralph had blown the conch and boys had started to arrive at the platform Piggy asked them for their names, evidence that they were strangers to him. When the choir, led by Jack, arrived Piggy made introductions, which indicated that the boys in the choir didn't know any of the other boys. At the end of the meeting when Ralph, Simon and Jack were heading off to climb the mountain Ralph told Piggy that his job was to collect names. If he'd known the other boys he'd have already known their names.
Ralph said that near the end of chapter 2: Fire on the mounatin when Piggy admitted that he didn't know the names of the littluns.
Initially Ralph viewed Piggy as an uninvited and unwanted intrusion on his pleasure at finding himself on a tropical island. Ralph walked off when Piggy was forced to asnwer a call of nature, he didn't wait for the fat boy. Ralph didn't ask Piggy what his name was, probably because he wasn't in the slightest bit interested. Ralph probably felt that he had nothing in common with a fat asthmatic boy who wore a greasy wind-breaker, dropped letters from his words and who didn't know how to swim. Gradually however Ralph's attitude to Piggy began to change. When Ralph found the conch in the lagoon it was Piggy who identified it and told him that it could be blown. Piggy also suggested calling the rest of the boys on the island. Over the course of the book Piggy was constantly on hand to remind Ralph, when he lost track of what he was saying probably due to Petit Mal epilsepsy. Piggy was the voice of reason who suggested lighting a signal fire on the beach when it seemed that the beast was preventing the boys from relighting the fire on the mountain. Slowly Ralph's attitude changed from indifference, through a period where he simply made use of Piggy's abilities, to companionship and finally to the realisation that Piggy had been his friend.
At the end of chapter 5: Beast from Water Piggy told Ralph how he felt about Jack, I quote... "He hates me. I dunno why. If he could do what he wanted--- you're alright, he respects you. Besides-- you'd hit him." Piggy also said... "I tell you what. He hates you too, Ralph---" And... "He can't hurt you: but if you stand out of the way he'd hurt the next thing. And that's me."

Ralph told the other boys during their first assembly. He was the only person who Piggy had revealed it to.
Jack does not reveal Piggy's name to the rest of the boys. During the first meeting Jack tells Piggy to, "shut up Fatty." To which Ralph replies, "His name isn't Fatty it's Piggy." Until that point Ralph was the only one who knew Piggy's nickname as Piggy had earlier told him, "I don't mind what they call me as long as it isn't what the boys called me at school...Piggy."

If you are asking "Why did Jack hit Piggy?" The answer is that Jack was elated from having just successfully hunted a pig for the first time. He felt on top of the world, he felt that he had proved his skill and ability before his hunters. Then his self congratulations had been brought tumbling about his ears when Ralph told all the boys that they missed the opportunity of being rescued because the fire had been allowed to go out. This was a direct result of Jack 'needing' the two boys who should have been on fire duty to join his hunt. While Jack could grudgingly accept criticism from Ralph, who was bigger than himself and also the elected leader, when Piggy also spoke out against him it was a step to much. Jack could not accept losing face before his hunters by allowing a fat and unpopular boy to verbally chastise him without response. So, Jack punched him. Piggy was an easy target who was unlikely to fight back and who was unlikely to attract too much support. Jack was therefore able to unleash his anger and also the frustration he felt towards Ralph but which he was unable to express in that direction.

Ralph has been told that Jack is hunting for him. He has been told that Jack has a stick that is sharpened at both ends.

After the signal fire has gone out, as a result of Jack 'needing' the boys who were on fire duty to join his pig hunt there was a confrontation on the mountain top. Ralph told the boys that they had missed the chance of being rescued by a passing ship because the fire was out. Jack managed to accept criticism from Ralph but when Piggy also spoke against him Jack had an easy target on whom to vent his frustration and anger. So he punched Piggy in the stomach, which made the fat boy sit down with a bump. Then Jack slapped Piggy's head, which send Piggy's glasses flying and resulted in one of the lenses breaking.
