[Bug localedata/14934] [patch] wrong first weekday chilean locale (es_CL)

I've also found this bug.

I've looked around, and there doesn't seem to be any official decree or law
concerning monday as the start of the week, but I've found that sunday is
indeed regarded as an official holiday, as per laws 1990[1], that says:

>  ART. 2. El dia de descanso serà el domingo, salvo convenio espreso en 
> contrario; i en este caso, el dia de descanso podrà ser Ãnico para todos los 
> individuos o turnado para no paralizar la marcha del trabajo.

(trans: Art. 2nd. The day for rest will be sunday, unless explicit agreement
against it; and in this case, the day for rest might be the same for all
individuals or in turns in order not to stop labour.

and law 2977, 

> ArtÃculo 1Â. Desde la fecha de la presente lei, solo se considerarÃn como 
> feriados los dias siguientes:
>    1Â Los domingos de todo el aÃo.
> ...

(trans. Art 1st: Since the date of the present law, only the following days
will be regarded as holidays: 1st, sundays all year long.)

At [3] there is a list of all the laws and decrees concerning holidays in
Chile.

Chilean Labor Code [4] agrees with what's been said above. See Book I, Chapter
IV, Parragraph 4th, Arts. 35 and following:

>  Art. 35: Los dÃas domingo y aquellos que la ley declare festivos serÃn de 
> descanso, salvo respecto de las actividades autorizadas por ley para trabajar 
> en esos dÃas.

(trans. Art 35: Sundays and those days declared as holidays by law will be days
of rest, excepting activities authorized by law...)

Article 36 seems to me to imply that Monday can be regarded as the official
start of the work week:

> El descanso y las obligaciones y prohibiciones establecidas al respecto en 
> los dos artÃculos anteriores empezarÃn a mÃs tardar a las 21 horas del dÃa 
> anterior al domingo o festivo y terminarÃn a las 6 horas del dÃa siguiente de 
> Ãstos, salvo las alteraciones horarias que se produzcan con motivo de la 
> rotaciÃn en los turnos de trabajo.

(trans. Rest, obligations and prohibitions established concerning both articles
above will begin at the latest at 21:00 the day before sunday or holiday, and
will end at 06:00 the following day, excepting alterations caused by rotation
in working shifts.) Since sunday is always an official holiday, and work always
resumes the day following it (unless agreed otherwise), it seems to me that
monday can be regarded as the start of the working week. This is just my
interpretation of all this, though, IANAL.

This [5] article on the chilean Direccion del Trabajo (the government entity
that is in charge of labor) website seems to agree with this:

> Conforme lo prescribe el artÃculo 35 del CÃdigo del Trabajo, los dÃas domingo > y aquellos que la ley declara festivos son de descanso. De esta manera, las 
> partes pueden convenir que la jornada de trabajo se distribuya en cinco o en 
> seis dÃas, pero al sÃptimo el dependiente necesariamente deberà descansar, 
> dÃa Ãste que deberà recaer en dÃa domingo.

(trans. As prescribd in article 35 of the Labor Code, sundays and those days
the law regards as holidays are for rest. This way, the parts can convene the
working shift be distributed in five or six days, but at the seventh the
dependent must necessarily rest, and this day has to fall on sunday.)

Hope this all helps build the case for making this change in the es_CL locale.

Regards.
