More than 70 percent of AFT members who participated in a recent Hart Research Associates-AFT survey described the 2021-22 academic year as one of the worst for PreK-12 teachers and staff.

Interviews were conducted June 17-21 with 2,379 AFT members. Other key findings:

• 60 percent said they probably will stay or definitely will stay in their current job in the next one to two years

• 51 percent said they were represented very well by their local union

• 44 percent said they are either fairly worried or very worried about the possibility of a mass shooting where they work
