My question is, what do the dues pay for?

Your dues go to things like fighting the ME3, flags of convenience, lobbying for enhanced security, fighting to keep cameras out of cockpits, shutting down single pilot experiments in the cargo world which could bleed to the passenger world, and so much more.
And no, ALPA isn't blowing your money on "snacks" like in the past.
