I am not an expert, but I believe it varies depending upon the union. Some may put it into a strike fund, some a injured workers/compensation fund, pension fund, or some may alter dues for a year or differ increases.
Think of due like an extra tax, except it goes to a union instead of the government (although if you think about it, both are fairly similar).
