>If the boxes are PVC then how do you ground your outlets? I have always wired the ground to the back of the metal junction box.

The ground should not be part of the box but be in the bundle of wires. It should either be a bare wire or a green insulated wire, assuming US standard wiring. While it is a best practice to run a pigtail to the box as well it might be that whatever shit electrician used plastic boxes to save a nickel also saved a penny by not doing that either (and yes, plastic boxes still require a ground pigtail). So, check the wire bundle for the ground.

If the ground is completely missing then you are fucked. You have to run a ground from the main breaker all the way to the fucking box. It is a huge fucking hassle in most cases.
