PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- If many hands make light work than Mayor-elect Jim Kenney's transition should be almost effortless.

He's named 170 people to his transition team.

The list reads like a directory of civic activists, including leaders from business, labor, non-profits and politics. Co-chairs are state representative Dwight Evans and Vanguard executive Alba Martinez. The steering committee includes former HUD secretary Estelle Richman, one-time mayoral candidate Ken Trujillo and AFL-CIO head Pat Eiding.

"I'm thrilled to death and honored that he's not only put me on the transition team but on the steering committee. I do believe the relationship between his administration and labor is going to be better than it's been for a while."

The dozen or so committees on the team include education, public safety and a one-off-- preparation for the Democratic National Convention.
