Revisions incorporated in this timetable:
Mondays to Fridays
The inter-peak and evening off-peak services have been revised. The 19 trains per hour service has been re-formed at Queen’s Park to improve layovers and aid service reliability. During the step back period at Elephant and Castle, Train Operators will now step back three trains instead of two.

Will this allay the union concerns about fatigue and associated issues?

That's certainly the general idea, whether it will or not - who knows?
The main problem with the Bakerloo at the moment is that 6tph to Harrow and 3 tph to Stonebridge Park does not mix very well with the Overground's new 4tph Euston - Watford Jcn, which used to be 3tph.
A few ideas to tackle this have been floated, but in my opinion what is really needed is a NR re-signalling at least as far as Harrow to allow 2 minute headways instead of 4 / 4.5 minutes north of Stonebridge Park, and 3 minutes Queen's Park to Stonebridge Park. If they could add-in bay platforms at Harrow and Stonebridge whilst they are at it that would solve nearly all the problems.
