The post-card campaign to have Education Minister Kelly Lamrock removed from his position continues by Cupe Local 1253.
It represents bus drivers and maintenance staff who will be affected by the budget cuts in education announced earlier this year.
Pam Schilalone is the spokes-person and tells CHSJ News, many parents still aren't aware that 55 bus runs will be terminated in the fall.
She says in total -- the job cuts add up to 700 job losses across the Province and they will continue their protests until the decision is reversed.
