Ha, so it's not only a discussion in the Netherlands :-).
As far as I know, sunday has always been the first day of the week. What
gets people confused is the term 'weekend' for week-transition, and a lot of
people incorrectly get the Bible in it, saying:"On the seventh day he
rested, so that should be sunday." While the seventh day is indeed saturday,
that's why the jews have Sabbath. (See also

The start of a 'working" week is indeed monday, but thank god it stops at
friday :-).
Grtz,
