Things unions offer with those dues:
Legal support - your boss has done something you disagree with
Strike fund - in the worse case the union uses its savings to support the members for a strike
Full time reps - this is perhaps the one most open to abuse, but in my experience union reps fight for the workers - otherwise they get sacked, they are elected positions.
Pay for legal advice - essential when fighting the big boys
And what you would hope is by paying union dues that your pay rise more than covers the union due.
The fact that amazon is fighting against it so hard, you can only assume its good for workers pay.
