Yet when my Consumer Reports subscription was going to run out I started getting renewal notice letters stamped “FINAL NOTICE” on the outside informing me I would not longer receive the magazine. I’m pretty sure they condemn that practice by others.

In general marketing or legal techniques which many find objectionable (like arbitration) are in place because they achieve the desired result are often practiced by the very organizations which condemn them.

Asking your employer to strike the arbitration clause from your employment agreement doesn’t usually produce the same result.
