Sandy,

 

Rather than relying on a button to hold the logic to delete the related objects, I would suggest using a trigger on the junction object itself:

 

trigger cascadeJunctionDelete on EmpDepartment__c (after delete) {
    List<Employee__c> empList = new List<Employee__c>();
    List<Department__c> depList = new List<Department__c>();
    for(EmpDepartment__c ed : Trigger.old) {
        empList.add(new Employee__c(id=ed.Employee__c));
        depList.add(new Department__c(id=ed.Department__c));    
    }
    if(empList.size() > 0) {
        delete empList;
    }
    if(depList.size() > 0) {
        delete depList;
    }
}

 Hope this helps.
