through privileges and dues [or, bribes]?

Hola Roxi!
No encuentro tal palabra...ni en el DRAE. Se me ocurre que pudiera ser un "typo" ...queriendo decir "cuotas"....¿será?

Entonces "dues" sería una posibilidad...pero quizá también: "bribes" [sobornos].

En verdad...no sé.
Suerte!

featherbedding and bribery

I think Terry is right that it's a typo, but I don't think <dues> works.
